Target in trouble with BBWs

I think elephant seal grey sounds much better.....
 
According to the article, it wasn't renamed for the larger size. Supposedly, that particular color is called Manatee Gray throughout their line of products. However, it just so happened that two different teams worked on that dress and somehow didn't coordinate with each other. If true, that a completely separate problem with the company. But I still think people are way too sensitive.

Maybe, but isn't "Manatee Gray" a bizarre color name for any women's outfit? Sort of in the same category as "Porker Pink" or "Feedlot Green".

I describe everything I see by using manatees as a reference point. I thought this was a common practice.
 
Now every time I see a large woman on the street I'm gonna have to play this game.

Pumpkin orange, whale blue, stretch limousine black, etc.
 
I agree that people are too easily offended, but this was a really stupid mistake on Target's part. Nobody thought large women would be offended by a comparison to a huge water mammal?
 
Does a woman who buys clothes that are sized by the color of an elephant actually think she is not fat?


I got a story, but it belongs in the im an idiot thread....
 
Manatees are offended at being grouped in with fat chicks .
 
So silly. You didn't care when you ate the 6000 cheese burgers and got to that size...but God forbid something reminds you how you look.

Edit: Also, I hate the term BBW. You're not big and beautiful. You're fat. Stop pretending it's ok to eat yourself to death.
