TARGET MYSTERY EXPLAINED: Earlier reports that Target.com was advertising blowjobs, and marijuana -- not to mention prostitution -- are explained as bad web management, rather than a sudden broadening of Target's lines of business. You can find same items on Amazon -- only with more information (here's the marijuana item) -- and the Target/Amazon sites are co-branded, or co-hosted, or whatever you call it. It's the complete lack of information on the Target site that makes it confusing.
Of course, several readers think it's just clever marketing -- just as the Christmas shopping season heats up, rumors about spicy content emerge to lure people to the Target website. Do you think?
