Troll Creates Fake Target Customer Service Account, Responds To Gender-Neutral Haters

http://cheezburger.com/601861/troll-facebook-fake-target-customer-service-account-gender-neutral-haters

Because Target can't always reply to their idiotic customers in the most appropriate fashion, one man took the initiative and created a fake customer service account titled "Ask ForHelp" to deliver the some serious social justice. Target Facebook has been flooded with hate after its stores recently made the move toward gender-neutral in-store labeling.

The fake Facebook account was built for success with the bull's-eye profile pic and a fitting name.... The haters weren't ready.

Here's an example of one.  These are so hilarious.  You really need to go to this link.  You will be laughing for hours.  One guy asks which aisle the tampons are going to be on.  Not that distance runners are looking for them of course.

It took Target something like 17 hours to notice this. LOL!

I read through a couple pages of comments. I don't know what was the most funny. The comments or the answers. One guy said he wasn't even going to drive through their parking lot to get to another store. One lady was TRYING to say that both sexes in her family thought this was dumb but it came off as though she had gay family members. He had a ball with that.

What in the world are they talking about? what is "gender neutral in store labeling"? I've never seen things labeled as toys for girls or toys for boys.

Or is it all just a joke that has nothing to do with Target?

 It means the Barbie aisle will no longer have pink backgrounds and I guess it means they will be situation next to the action figures.

I guess I don't spend much time in the toy aisles. I thought Barbies and action figures were in the same aisle... Their all dolls. Along with Monsters Inc and Monster High and all that.

 A small group of people put pressure on Target to take away gender identifying toys.  So now it won't be boys bedding and girls bedding it will be childrens bedding.  The GI Joe's will be next to the Barbie's in a neutral colored aisle.  All toys will be grouped similarly with no gender identifying colors or labels.

 I thought it was already that way. The only place I've noticed gender identification is in clothing.

Crazy that people feel so strongly about it.

 That's the thing.  I don't think MOST people notice.  It's only the crazies.
