Target: Never Piss Off a Blogger


NYT- Target to the blogosphere: you’re irrelevant.

What's up with "trendy" discount retailer Target? When a blogger wrote to complain about a new advertising campaign that depicted a woman splayed across a big target pattern -- the store's emblem -- with the bull’s-eye at her crotch Target offered this e-mail, um, "response": Target offered an e-mail response: "Unfortunately we are unable to respond to your inquiry because Target does not participate with nontraditional media outlets." (Meow.) To which I say, "Don't piss off the bloggers, Target. It will be the biggest mistake of your life." (NYT)
