So much for your Christmas present. Now Ill have to get you something else! Ever since theyve been pronouncing it as "Tar-geh" instead of Target, theyve been selling weird French sex toys!
The fact that Target has banned Salvation Army bell ringers from their premises this Holiday Season is far more disturbing. For doing that I am boycotting them for life.
I ring the bell for the Salvation Army at least one three-hour shift every Christmas. This year I was among those who were out on the first day, and I was ever so pleased to hear from more than a few people -- as they put their money into the kettle -- that they would not be shopping at Target this year. I think Target may live to regret this decision. I hope so. . .
Whatever it was, its gone now. The page directs link to an error page.
This is as of 8:00 PM EST
Wow . . . yeah, it was definitely there this afternoon . . . thats weird. Dr. Moser made Target get rid of its lubricant . . .
To be a "fan" of any chain store is a bit odd, isnt it?? How does one express this fan status?
And, while, yes, its easy to be troubled by Target giving the S.A. the boot (and I am), its also strange that one would only boycott a company that has sold (and likely still does sell) products made by child labor and/or sweatshop labor after the store dismisses this particular charity. Might it not be charitable for Target to refuse to sell merchandise made under those conditions in the first place?
Finally, why is anyone from the Ashcroft Ctr. set bothered by this? Target is merely doing what they wish with their own private property.
Before you rush into buying your digital camera this holiday season make sure your properly informed. Many consumers during the holiday season rush into purchasing electronic equipment in a mad panic to get that high end gift for their loved one or spouse.
Take the time to resource all the models out their from some of the most reputable manufacturers. Its easy in this day and age to spend too much for a camera since you can easily expect to pay up to $400 US for a mid range digital camera. This might sound expensive but these cameras are become much more affordable considering you can get a 6 mega-pixel for this price today and 4 years ago a 2 mega-pixel might of cost that alone. Times are changing and your best bet when shopping today is to be armed with knowledge about the specific camera you have selected. I have always recommended eBay because I myself have found deeply discounted items from only the most respected powersellers. If purchasing from eBay this holiday season make sure to select from auctions that are of the most trusted variety. I have found sites like www.bargainfindsonebay.com do a great job in filtering these auctions and only providing you great deal from the most trusted powersellers.
Many of you today might be on the verge of purchasing your first digital camera for a christmas present this Season or
It can be hard to find information on the right digital camera that’s why you should look at a Digital Camera Buyers Guide to make sure you dont get stiffed if you do decide to get into Digital Photography many people choose Kodak for ease of use and their lower prices as well Fuji Finepix which is another great choice if your just starting to get into the Digital Camera industry. As well for those that dont have big budgets theirs always the Disposable Digital Camera
Good luck with this years gift giving ideas,
Cheers, Kyle
