Sometimes internet users are so quick to be judgmental. We think we are the experts on everything and we are so quick to criticize others when they make mistakes. I know the whole "three armed man" target ad received a lot of criticism, but I can think of at least three perfectly reasonable explanations for what happened behind the scenes.

Option number two: The lady from Seinfeld with man hands stopped by to say hi to her friend Suzanna (who is the mom in the photoshoot). Suzanna and man hands lady are actually high school friends that go way back but they had a falling apart after man hand's career took off in the 90's and left Suzanna in the dust. This photo depicts that sweet and tender moment when they reunited their friendship after years of competition and distain. However, in the process of removing man hands lady from the photo the designer got a little lazy and confused because... well... her hands look like... you know.

Option number three: (and perhaps the most likely option) Jack Donaghy decided to stop making those obnoxious Credit One commercials and he instead chose to be the celebrity representative of Target. His upcoming Target commercials will consist of him saying nothing, only looking into the camera with his piercing blue eyed gaze while little red target icons with swirl behind him swooning the viewer into a hypnotic state of shopping frenzy.
Anyway, I'm not 100% sure that this is what happened, but it's a huge possibility. Let's just give the target design guy a little break - okay?
>> Hum and I were trapped in the car on the freeway for a lot of hours yesterday due to some car accidents. We started playing the would you rather game and it kept us entertained for a long time. Wanna play with us?
>> Would you rather have dinner with Emily or Zooey Deschannel? (We chose Emily (gasp!). We're big Bones fans)
>> Would you rather have dinner with JK Rowling or JRR Tolkien? (Ah, we had to choose JK)
>> Would you rather have dinner with Tina Fey or Jimmy Fallon? (Can't decide. Don't make me.)
>> Would you rather have dinner with Joni Mitchell or Paul McCartney? (Hum and I were split on this one. I chose Joni and I would over and over again.)
(This seriously entertained us for hours... the list goes on and on)

i love it. i definitely think it was a lovely reunion between man hands and suzanna.

jk rowling. i would lock her in a closet till she wrote another book.

I can not stop laughing at the man-hands one. Nothing beats a good Seinfeld reference. And I'm with you on Emily. I mean Dr. Temperance Brennan.
ReplyDeleteEmily, more because Zooey bugs me for an irrational reason.
ReplyDeleteJK, because she helped define my childhood.
Both! I don't care if that isn't an option. I love them both.
Um.. Paul? Sure. Let's go with that one.
>> Would you rather have dinner with Emily or Zooey Deschanel? Zooey!
ReplyDelete>> Would you rather have dinner with JK Rowling or JRR Tolkien? JK :)
>> Would you rather have dinner with Tina Fey or Jimmy Fallon? ahhhh. the worst question! gun to my head, i'd pick Tina.
>> Would you rather have dinner with Joni Mitchell or Paul McCartney? PAUL. 100x over!
absolutely brilliant. i have to say jack's my favorite.
ReplyDeletep.s. my sister in law sent me your lovely christmas album (an instant classic in our humble abode, comprising equal parts human & canine) & also recently turned me onto your blog. it's kinda sorta love at first sight.
ReplyDeleteBahahaha! This seriously made my morning! I adore your sense of humor! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and my answers would be Zooey (never seen Bones... I know don't hate me), JK, Tina Fey (Though this was a very tough decision. But if having dinner, I think I'd want someone to talk to, and Jimmy just seems like he'd giggle the whole time. lol), and DEFINITELY Paul McCartney. Sorry Hue! I'm a massive Beatles fan!
