    Obviously trolls are a Mod's natural enemy, but I have to say that some of these made me giggle.

    I saw that yesterday and I lost it xD Such a shame that Target here crashed and imploded on itself :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I would have loved to see the gender neutral aisles.

    First off, I am indifferent to this change (like 90% of everyone else) boys and girls will still buy the toys they did before. But does this moron seriously think that kids won't know their gender because there are no longer signs, would have 'gay' and 'straight' aisles have helped figure out my sexuality? NO! :lol:

    I didn't really like his humour, to be honest. It was very immature and ultimately only added fuel to those people's homophobic/transphobic/whateverphobic fires.

    Sure, maybe it was funny, but come on, guys. This guy's getting praised for being a troll, but if the other side was trolling us, we'd see that as ignorant.

    As a PR student, that guy scare the crap out of me, especially if I am working for Target.

    He is like a super wildcard that, at any one point, can stop being charming and downright offensive, and it would ruin reputation like nothing else could, since he amassed a bunch of enemies at the same time doing that. Good thing Target got this handled well and got lucky.

    Yes, because the other side IS ignorant. It's very clear he is attempting to show them that at their own expense. I take no issue with it.

    Saw these on gizmodo and couldn't stop laughing hysterically. My mom and dad were probably wondering what I was reading or watching

    The tampon on one was the best. And the guy who was "collecting evidence", I'm sure he had an awkward conversation with someone on the phone.
