...because of the backlash this stirred up. Target was easy to target.

American Greetings and Target thought this was a good idea. Does that mean neither has any black people on staff? :icon_scratch:

Not as funny as the life sized cardboard cutout we once saw of Muhammad Ali at a local pharmacy chain. The display was for shoe polish with Ali as the endorsement. So, at the end of the aisle was this very good life sized display of Ali and the words above his head in 10-12 inch letters read, "WORLD'S GREATEST SHINE".

This was just before everyone was able to take a picture with their phones. As funny (in a cruel way) as I thought it was, I had to explain it to the manager so he could call the vendor. Somewhere out there is/was a minority ad agency who catered to minority businesses who both screwed the pooch in a major way.
