The Target ads in this week's New Yorker

[realFedUp]

I haven't posted for awhile, so this return post
seems trivial compared to the real problems in
this country and world, but is anyone else bothered
by the countless Target ads, albeit illustrated
by famous and almost famous in this week's
New Yorker (Aug. 22). This goes beyond the
usual but shortlived annoyance of shaking out
all the blow in subscription cards.

Wonder what Kinky thinks?

1. I really wasn't bothered

It made me laugh - and then I read an article that blasted the New Yorker for doing it in the way they did.

I like Target's TV ads - and I like Target compared to WalFart - was surprised they went "high brow" for their advertising.

Maybe Target really did hornswoggle the New Yorker - but I bet the New Yorker artists were already impressed with Target's media campaign and hopped on board very willingly - stylish and smart.

2. I'm not sure there are many differences betweenTarget and Walmart

Are those of us who boycott Walmart naive in buying
at Target? Are they the same big box, sweatshop buying,
minimum wage, no benefits companies, with different
public perception?

I don't care how they dress up a hog...it's still pork.
