Hey, that's just what New York needs: Buildings with targets painted all over them.

Actually, you know what the buildings really remind me of is the tentacles of a gigantic mechanical octopus, reaching out to devour and destroy the citizens of New York.

Whether this is wrong or not I do know one thing...I absolutely love Target and because of that I'm swayed to feel that this is just one more reason I like them and can't stand to even try parking at a Wal-Mart.

I actually love Target. I just like making fun of the illustrations.

I guess I'd rather have one corporate logo yelling at me than a couple hundred different ones from a typical issue.

I'd like to see more of this in the future.

I love Target because they don't sell products that were made in sweat shops...oh wait, that's not true.

Still don't quite get why this is a problem -- better than the fashion special issue which weighs about five pounds and has all those advertorial inserts that pretty cleverly mock mag copy. Anybody who was taken in by this...

I love Target because unlike Wal-Mart, they give even their part-time workers full medical, and encourage their workers to unionize...oh wait, that's not true.

Target: The Wal-Mart too cool to hate.

The last illustration is WON-DER-FUL! Love, love love it! (And I hope I got the hyphenation right.)

target is a big bush/cheney/rove contributor & it uses sweatshops & it pays slave wages. for that i hate that they've bought an entire issue of The New Yorker. However, i'm pleased to see so many illustrators getting (well?) paid commissions and that the illustrations are so brilliant & clever.

I just threw up a little... in my mouth, and it was red and white.

Whether you like the Target ads or not, here we are, all talking about them. What advertising! I found the illustrations fascinating and creative, which made reading the New Yorker more enjoyable than it already is.

How exciting...the marriage between Target and the New Yorker. Although I have lived in Arizona for many years, I still subscribe to the New Yorker because I care about what is going on in the city in which I was raised, and the articles are stimulating, provocative and thoughtful. Never before have I seen such a wonderfully creative group of illustrations which advertised a store merely by displaying the logo! This was definately a delightful surprise. Way to go Target!!

Are you watching the Tony Awards? Excuse me but isn't Irwin Jacobs an
investor of Jersey Boys? What luck is that? Think I can get tickets?
