Just damn.
If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]
In the last 3-4 years. Dayton-Hudson Corporation has been renamed Target Corporation; Daytons and Hudsons dept stores have been renamed Marshall Fields.
Mark Dayton, scion of the Dayton family, was elected to the Senate in 2000.
MY OPINION: Wildmon is organizing this campagin on Target because they are a nationwide popular retailer. Other retailers are also deserving of this kind of activism. Ask mgmt in your local stores, and escalate your concerns as directed.
The person you will be speaking to at Target or any other big company will not be the person who made the decision to market the clothing & fragrance, nor the wicked advertising executive who is, as someone here so aptly said, attempting to mainstream the sexualization of children. That person will be a messenger and note taker for someone with power. Don't shoot messengers and secretaries. If you call, be a nice social conservative or good Christian witness, or whatever you are (I'm tolerant)
Finally, who has the money to shop at malls, see big F--K posters and be offended? Thrift shopping rules!
Certainly not, this does not in the least offend me.
obvious grab at the mind to be misspelled as one of the vilest slang words ever used
Words cannot hurt you.
Puritanical holy-rollerism is far more harmful.
Oh, wait.. it's for the childrun who can be oh-so-easily corrupted by one of the vilest slang words ever used.
Maybe yours can, but not mine.
"If you see Kay....tell her I miss her...
If you see Kay....tell her I love her..."
Figures it's those weasely French again! I f*rt in their general direction.
Of course it is! How could we have been so gullible.
To hell with Target.
"If you see Kay....tell her I miss her... If you see Kay....tell her I love her..."April Wine recorded this song in 1982 and the Republic survived. >:)

Words cannot hurt you.The "decency" lobby pretty much had its way during the 1950s. Look what happened when the children of that era reached maturity.....the '60s.
Puritanical holy-rollerism is far more harmful.

Target store chain void of common decency
UPDATE!
As expected, the Target corporation is blocking your emails to them. Here is our recommended action (We have provided additional contact information below):
Call Target's toll-free number and let them know how disgusted you are with their decision to sell FCUK products through their Marshall Field's stores. Their toll free number is 1-800-440-0680, extension 1.
Here's a note: You will be told that you are calling Target, not Marshall Field's. Don't be fooled by their attempt to discourage you. Target is responsible for Marshall Field's decision to sell their nasty product!
In addition, they may ask for your mailing address. We recommend not giving that information. By doing so, your home might become a target for receiving a promotional mail out for the product.
