GOD will judge us all the same for what we have done. I hope this helps ease everyone's pain towards a subject that is actually meaningless. Do not buy the product. This is best way to hurt company. Sell off your stock in it. Vote for better government officials. Make sure that they will help all in the state of Florida and not just themselves because they are trying to promote themselves.

I try not to shop Target but they sell certain items I like or need so I shop there on occasion. My daughter loves to shop at Target.

Early last June I even bought some Target stock along with Walmart as they both had taken hits. The Target stock has gone nowhere; the Walmart stock has enjoyed a nice gain.

Personally, I think it was just a "let's show how progressive we can be" gambit that failed, miserably...

Yep. Virtue signaling plain and simple. There is no reason to advertise to such a small fringe group; the cost of the ads can't be covered by such a small potential increase in sales, if there even is any.

It looks like peak wokeness is behind us. There is clearly some pushback, and now that the anti-woke are realizing that resistance is not futile (see Bud Light), there will be more and more pushback.

And now, they have the same "Pride Line", labeled "tuck friendly" and "light binding" in the children's department...

But no, no one is targeting children...

There's a lot of old male geezers who should be investing in "tuck friendly" swimwear. Them saggy nasty plucked-chicken-skin thangs need to just - not be made available for public viewing.

And yet - we see those spreads when we walk by on our way to a chair at the pool, and they can't be unseen.

I'm sure you're a vision of loveliness, too...

Do not understand the big deal with this? We have a lot more serious matters on our hands than men wearing women's underwear or whatever is involved in advertising bathing suits.

I do not want to get in trouble for getting political. But. Bathing suits! Really?

Kind of surreal for Adidas to get "woke." Nazis ran the company. Pride people were sent to work camps or killed in those times. Ok, I suppose this is 'change-culture' of another kind.

I totally get it. I mean, first you have a man in drag posting a twitter pic of himself with a Bud Lite. Then Target have public restrooms for "whoever" needs to go to the bathroom. Then you start seeing photo shoot ads for designer swimsuits worn by guys with big crotch-bulges and no breasts. THEN Target starts selling products with rainbow designs on it.

You know this can only end in one thing:
Women wearing pants.

This has to stop, now, or our country will be doomed forever.

BTW: I just did a google search on Jack Lalane, and then on 1930's men's swimsuits. I knew I didn't misremember Jack rocking a spandex leotard. And the swimsuits from the 1930's for men - the one I remembered seeing was called a Y-back one-piece "with skirt" - it had a little butt-covering skirt over the back. Totally crazy how no one accused them of dressing like women then.

Yup... It's just about bathing suits...

Except the "with skirt" part never happened...

I hear they have pills to help with your "memory"...

Because it's a lie. The more a lie is accepted, the next lie becomes easier to promote and inculcate. Live and let live is apathy. Who cares as long as it doesn't impact me? That's kind of selfish self-imposed ignorance that allows others to take advantage, and when it's too late, you wake up and find things being imposed on you that you that you are suddenly very concerned about but unable to do anything about. Read 1984.

There existed no such advertisement. Bud Lite didn't have an ad with Mulvaney. Anheuser-Bush didn't produce an advertisement with Mulvaney. THAT is the lie. And everyone who is screaming holy murder about how horrible it is, and boycotting Bud Lite because they believe this lie, are all the people who are buying the promotion and inculcation of lies.
