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 didn't see the ads, but I inquired of Target if it were so about the ads for FCUK, and "scent to bed".


Here's the response:

Thank you for taking your time to share your thoughts and feelings
regarding Marshall Field's French Connection United Kingdom merchandise and
advertising.

Marshall Field's has been carrying French Connection United Kingdom
merchandise for about a year, as this brand has been in high demand with
their guests. Marshall Field's advertising surrounding the recent launch of
the French Connection fragrance was in no way meant to upset valued Field's
or Target guests.

We apologize if the advertising or these products have offended you. Please
know that we take your feedback seriously and appreciate all of your
concerns. Due to the feedback from yourself and other guests, Marshall
Field's is reevaluating their marketing of the French Connection brand.
Though it will take some time for this change to be apparent, Marshall
Field's executives are in the process of minimizing the use of this brand's
acronym.

We hope that Target and Marshall Field's will continue to be among your
shopping destinations.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Hanson
Group Team Leader
Target Executive Offices
