i guess all of those athletes that wear that number are now considered "nazis" as well. looks like that number will probably be banned by sports teams. i'm surprised they allow them to wear "69".....maybe that will be banned as well.

OH-Brother This P.C. BullSh*t has gone way to far. I guess my brother is a nazi because he graduated in '88'. And has a tee-shirt with a big green '88' on it. And besides, how many skin heads shop at Target any way.
Let's ban '0', because it leads to low self-esteem.
Let's ban '1', because it leads to conceit.

I wonder if the nazis realize that to ham radio operators 88 means "love and kisses".

I buy and sell on Ebay and there is a HUGE thread on the board there. The MAJORITY of prople there are sending off angry emails to Target and starting a boycot.

Why are they boycotting Target?

uhhh...MK, did you read the article??

That reminds me of that band "311". People were saying that they were racist because K is the 11th letter of the alphabet and 3 11 meant KKK

Why are they boycotting Target?

I guess the people at Ebay are upset that Target is removing the 88 merchandise?

All of you are just insensitive. I've now removed the "8" from every wristwatch, clock, and ruler in my home in support of the boycott of the number "8". I will no longer purchase any item from anywhere if there is a number 8 anywhere in the price.

BOYCOTT 8! Anybody that doesn't join me must be a racist and a supporter of Hitler.

YEAH I read the article. I was not sure if the E-bayers was for or aginst it. I'm sure Target didn't purposely put '88' on the clothes as some sort of conspiracy!
nickg, I thought it was a fair question.

[nickg]

OK MK

[Bill R]

I'll bet some of the Ebayers went out and bought some of the 88 stuff before it got pulled and will be up for auction soon.

According to Chinese tradition the number 8 is supposedly lucky. Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York apparently took this to heart and had her labor induced early so that her daughter would be born on August 8th (1988).
