Angel ,'Time Bomb'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
The thing about this is, I'm sure there are probably very religious Jews out there who refuse to shop at places with specific Christmas decorations. Ditto hardcore anti-religious atheists. The AFA is the same breed of folks
No, they're a large lobby organization. There's a major difference between individuals making individual choices, and a group like the AFA soliciting boycotts from their members.
Target's real problem is that both sides of the cultural wars consider them a, well, target. With pharmacists being able to not fill prescriptions on ideological objections on one side and the Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas battle on the other, Target isn't winning.
Target isn't winning.
There's a lot of that going around in this country.

Honestly, I doubt either issue will impact their bottom line all that much, as long as they can maintain their image of "Less evil than Wal-Mart."
If that were my sister, I'd be hoping that my mother wouldn't pay for the gift either.
Oh, I am, I am. I know Mom will, and that if I tell her not to it will make Christmas even more unpleasant than it will otherwise, but I am hoping, and I will make it clear that I am not going to help out.
I like Cashmere's idea, especially since Mom and Dad have nothing they want, so a charitable contribution might be a good thing for them.

Which is why I'll probably continue to shop at Target as the "discount variety goods near home" store. Though I really prefer independents, or at least local chains, over big national chains.
Good news! I only have five more work days in this work week.
Do I really have to go?
I know Mom will, and that if I tell her not to it will make Christmas even more unpleasant than it will otherwise
Ah, well. I'd totally tell my mother I didn't think she should, and she might laugh, but then she would, because apparently there are more important things than my sense of nasty justice.

buy something else for your niece. that way, she doesn't get caught because of her mother's crap, but you still can tell your sister to put down the crack pipe.

This is the part I'm enjoying. I don't mean that against Target. I just get a complete kick out of the fact that two so very different groups are targeting Target at the same time.
