The description for the target (which its manufacturers will predictably defend as “all in good fun” and “in no way condoning violence against women):

Be warned, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned but a man scorned is nothing to mess with! A young gent from Louisiana, we’ll call him Andre to protect his identity, was deeply committed to his one true love and her to him, or so he thought. While partying with her friends during one particular Mardi Gras, she took several suitors over the course of the festivities. Andre felt something odd indeed, so he paid a visit to his great aunt, Marie, who helped him see the truth. With a few eggs, candles lit and kiss upon his forehead, her voodoo curse was set in motion. Late each night while lying in bed, a smile would appear across his face, for a slight breeze would travel through a cracked window bringing with it, a faint whiff of decay and a unnatural cry of regret.

ZMB promises that each target has ”that realistic look so you really feel the hate” against women zombie ex-girlfriends.

1. I generally love all things zombie, but this doesn't seem healthy to me.

Breakups can be very painful and confusing, but this doesn't seem like a good way to move one with one's life, in my opinion.

[HappyMe]

4. I agree.

Not a good way to move on.

[Marrah_G]

18. I would be really nervous if my ex was shooting a model of me

Something is wrong in your head if seeing something like this makes you feel good.

[ZombieHorde]

20. That is definately a good reason to be nervous, in my opinion. nt

[demmiblue]

22. Me, too (though I would never be in a relationship with a gun nut).

Did you read that one particular customer testimonial:

The dark haired one looks like my bitch ex-wife, who I HATE! I can’t wait to shoot her face off for taking my shit.

That is some sick and scary stuff.

[Cleita]

2. That just made my heart stop for a second.

What kind of sicko thinks that is in good fun?

[KittyWampus]

3. All it needs is an orifice for ejaculating into before shooting it.

[Orrex]

6. Or after.

Since it's clearly hoping to appeal to a certain breed of freak already.

[KittyWampus]

7. Or during, I guess.

[Orrex]

8. Yikes!

That's some hardcore multitasking!

[cliffordu]

5. Kinda disgusting.

[jmowreader]

9. So how long will it be...

...before they come out with...

A hippie target?
A tree hugging liberal target?
A gun grabber target?
A Barack Obama target?

Because it's all in good fun to shoot the president in effigy, right?

10. Well, in their tactical combat target catalog they have only male ones

Black, white, and middle eastern.

[HappyMe]

12. Yikes!

I hadn't realized all of that was available.

[The Straight Story]

14. Well in the catalog they say they will make custom ones as well

Wonder if they can make one of barney the dinosaur

[HappyMe]

16. There are plenty of parents that would get behind that.

Maybe not to shoot at, but certainly kicked a bunch.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

17. It terms of paper targets, all of the above and more are already covered nt

[MineralMan]

11. Well, even as an April Fools stunt

this is ugly and menacing. Some shit ain't funny.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Guns make me queasy. People shooting guns at human-shaped targets makes me queasy.

I think the fact that they didn't make black goo come out of her mouth gives lie to the "Zombie" argument, too.

[rrneck]

15. A new high in low. nt

[backscatter712]

19. Well, that's classy!

Rig them so they try to eat the brains of their owners.

[struggle4progress]

21. "Let's practice shooting at human forms and desensitize ourselves to images of bleeding women"

What could possibly go wrong?

[winter is coming]

23. That is seriously fucked up. n/t

[Arcanetrance]

24. One more thing to promote violence against women just what the world needed
