And multiple someones thought this was a good idea??

Apparently, Target’s ad execs are old farts who don’t really think things through when creating new campaigns or designing billboards. Either that, or they’re just as sick and twisted as most of us who look at this and think of just one thing! C’mon, don’t tell me you don’t see it!! This person certainly did:

Yup. we’re ready for it. Ready for everyone to tell us we’re reading way, way too much into this Target billboard that places a certain area of a woman’s body highly targeted by men right in the middle of its signature target logo. But you can’t tell us not a single soul at Target or its agency looked at this and didn’t see a certain interpretation that could be construed as objectifying to women. There’s just no way.
Would it have been that hard to place the image of the woman so her upper body was in the middle of the target rather than her…um…crotch? Seriously. Perhaps the initial concept had her playfully face down in a pile of snow emblazoned with her ass in the middle of the Target logo but someone at Target said, “We don’t do doggy style at our organization. Flip her over please.”
