Thought this was interesting!

Kalamazoo Doula · 04-17-2006, 12:51 PM

I recieved this in a e-mail and thought it too be very interesting, so I'm 'forwarding' it all of you!:

Target has a new annoying shirt, for those of you who remember the epidural shirt. This one (linked below with commentary) depicts a baby bottle with the words Formula 4 Success. Please consider following the links and letting Target know how you feel:

Thanks, Erin!~

Out of curiousity...what was the epidural shirt?

Kalamazoo Doula · 04-18-2006, 11:23 AM

I'm not exactly sure what the epidural shirt was, but I had heard that it had something like, would'nt do it with out it, or something along those lines. But like I said, I'm not 100% sure.

I sent a e-mail to them about this, and recieved one right back on the same day! They just stated that not-in-so-many-words are never going to be able to make everyone happy! Cop out if you ask me!

it was a shirt (oddly made only in very small sizes) that said "an epidural is in my future"

Thats it! The next big money maker...we need to print maternity t-shirst with "A Doula is in my future" I love it!!

Well......I had boycotted Target long ago for several other reasons. This just reaffirmed to me how much I can't stand that store and what they stand for!

Need2read · 04-21-2006, 10:33 AM

Gosh, I not only hate that store for their cruelty to animals, horrible ways that they treat their employees (I worked there when I first moved to seattle), and now I hate them because they have crap like that on their racks.

I have boycotted walmart, and now I may not be shopping at Target. It may be time for me to start purchasing toilet paper, and other house essentials from Trader Joes & the like.

What about a kids t that reads My doula is better than your doula! I am seriously considering getting some shirts made up. Any suggestions?? I am brainstorming...

Maternity T-shirts:
Where's my doula?
There's a doula in my future...

Brainstorm with me if you don't mind me using your ideas....
