Boycott Target

I am hoping to get folks to quit shopping at Target because they sell these awful, dirty, FCUK EWE products at Marshall Field's here in Mpls. For any retailer here in the Heartland to spit on the morals and standards that most of us live by is just unbelievable. Target refuses to follow Federated who dropped this line of Degenerate cosmetics and tee shirts and other clothing after a week of protests from God fearing Christians all over the Midwest. Target says No, we will sell what we want. Well, we consumers who don't want our teen age grandchildren wearing FCUK EWE shirts around the neighborhood will Boycott Target.

Did you actually see them yourself?

Some designer is deslexic. Target should be more responsable to teach kids proper spelling.

Please don't forget to drop Minnesota's Senior Senator Mark Dayton an email about this matter here:

After all, the Dayton family founded and owns the Target corporation!

The best part of this is the dirtbags that wear these things wont buy them they will steal them!!

If you dont want your teens to wear them, dont buy them... or exert some control over your teens. Boycott Target? I don't think so.

I don't think Target has this trash in their stores...yet. Last I heard, the French company was seeking interested buyers.

If Target *does* plan on carrying them then yes, I'll boycott, call and make a stink.

btw..I recall at least recent 2 threads on this very subject.

I saw the FCUK shirts in a mall in a mid-eastern country. Had to laugh to myself thinking that those people didn't have a clue.

Have you researched the Target Foundation and the causes it supports?

Unless you fall in the radical feminist abortion/gay marriage camp, you might want to think again.

Many people try, where possible, to minimize contributing to the profitability of enterprises that work against their core values. Whether this constitutes a "boycott" or is more softly described as a decision of conscience, the effect is the same.

What the heck is FCUK EWE?

[Lorianne]

There’s always money to be made off of airheaded pop culture fashion victims.

He asked, sheepishly....

[LilithUnfair]

All publicity is good publicity. Congratulations for making these items hotter than they might have been. Yes, kids love to be told what to wear....

Welcome to Freedom. ;0)

I'm serious! I've never heard of it. Is it really spelled that way?

[Katya]

While I personally find the taglines on those shirts pretty funny, as a "parent" I retain absolute control over what my 16 year old wears.
Generally I find imbecilic statements on t-shirts useful...they pre-alert me to those I don't have to waste time with.

[LilithUnfair]

Yes. It's for French Connection UK. Clothing and fragrance, etc.

[Chad Fairbanks]

HAs anyone actually seen any clothing with the word "FCUK" on it? I've seen the clothing/shoe/jewlry line by them, but nothing with anything remotely obscene on them - nothing with the mispelled F-word or anything...

Am I missing something?

Get a life....
