Marksmen boycott Target for failing to advertise a specific target

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO - Members of the Cape Girardeau Shooting Club are organizing a boycott of retail giant Target for its use of the overly-broad word "Target" in its advertising campaigns.

"When some ad tells me to go to Target, my question is 'what kind of target?'", said Kurt Vanderholdt, "You got your steel plate targets, your moving targets, pop-up targets, and your paper targets like your bullseye, silhouette, center mass, corridor and IPSC targets."

"Everybody's got their favorite, so don't tell me to go to 'Target'. You better be goddamn specific about it, instead of just using some politically correct catch-all like plain 'Target'."

2. Everyone knows its pronounced "tarjay" and has nothing to do

with shooting sports.

4. I dunno...

It could be real. After all, Cape Girardeau is OxyRush's home town - who the hell knows what might be going on down there.
