I used to like Target.
Now, however, they are playing a major role in subjecting the world to the moron known as David Blaine. Though they claim to be doing it with charitable intent, I can no longer shop at their stores.
Just, eeewwww!

Posted by: BillyBudd at November 20, 2006 09:24 PMi'd rather deal with a moron like david blaine, whom i don't have to see or talk to, than 99 percent of the people that actually shop at wal-mart.

I loved when he did his thing in London and the people taunted him with food and throwing things at him.

Posted by: Vox at November 21, 2006 11:15 AM"Blaine? His name is Blaine? God that's a household appliance, that's not even a name!"
Just who in the hell is this assclown anyway? I've never even heard of him.
Posted by: Lori at November 21, 2006 09:44 PMOh and I think Sofa King was aiming his comments at BillyBudd.
Posted by: Lori at November 21, 2006 09:45 PMYou're probably right, Lori. I check almost everything like that with Snopes first, that's why I was confused about Sofa King's comment.
