Target becomes a Target...Manatee-gate-ish?


Target becomes a Target
Yeah, I can see why people are “upset”. But, it seems like more of a coloring mistake than a way to insult their customers. Target isn't in the business of pissing off its customers, that's EA's job. While this does teeter on “the outrage” tweet, but I have to agree with those people outraged with the color name. Plus-size women are a little uneasy about their appearances. And, calling it a color similar to a warm-blood sea creature that happens to be fat is a bit much.

Why would anyone use the name Manatee Gray for clothing anyway?
But, we have to ask, why wasn't the smaller dress named the same color though?
Well, it looks like there were different teams placing the colors into the description. And, I actually buy this answer too. I don't smell bullshit. Large companies do have different teams that don't work together. And, these screw ups do happen.
Target changed it, so no harm, no foul. No donglegate here.
By the way, why did this come up when I Googled Manatee Gray?
