Target Dress Apology For “Manatee Gray” Label Online
An online shopper noticed the differences on color labels for the same dress on Target.com. For smaller sizes dresses, the label was “Dark Heather Gray”, but for the plus-size dresses, the color label was “manatee gray”.
The moment the screen shot went online, it became viral as people call the distinction of the sizes offensive. As a note, manatees are large, fully aquatic, mostly herbivorous marine mammals sometimes known as sea cows.
Target already issued an apology saying:
“We never want to offend any of our guests. We apologize for any discomfort that we may have caused… We are in the process of fixing the discrepancy and updating Target.com so the gray dress will be available in all styles… We’re working on updating our systems right now.”
As of now, Target has removed the dress online.
I am a fatty and I don’t offense at fat jokes or anything. I have been on internet for 15 yrs. I have grown a very thick skin. It takes a lot to ruffle my feathers or my flab LOL. I am more offended at the fellow fatties that got offended. I’d tell this other fatties to grow up & don’t be so easily offended. I don’t go sunbathing at the beach anymore. I am afraid Green Peace will come along & will mistake me for a beached whale & push me back into the ocean LOL:.
Apology to that but no apology to our military who saved you all from the Germans, for denied us from a military discount . But yet will give gays and lesbians a discount. You don’t even allow the Salvation Army to even ring a bell outside your store. Total disrespect to the military, that saved your ass. That is why we are boycotted Target!! You ought to be apologizing to us.. We are spreading the word too!!
