    Let me ask you guys a question....is every corporation evil, in your opinion.

    I mean, is any company that makes a profit evil? Does the Independent Music shop that sells t-shirts made by "slave" labor in China evil as well?? Does just being a large corporation make a company awful?

    Corporations are all around us...some are worse than others. PJ needs to distribute their album, before sony did it for them (through the walmarts, targets, all the big-boxes) Now what PJ has done is choose which company to sell through...and they've tried to choose a company that is socially responsible.

    I just don't get the level of outrage.

    Its hard to dispute a long list of humanitarian efforts like that, so for all I know their head honchos really are decent human beings.
    But lets keep in mind that USUALLY when companies do philanthropic stuff its for good PR

    target pays slaves in china pennies to make crap for americans to buy at discounted prices. are they better than wal-mart? probably. but just cause they do some good things does not make them a good company. American manufacturing (or lack thereof) is in its current state because companies like target are so concerned about profit that they would rather ship a job overseas than keep it here...and we wonder why our economy sucks...its cause we don't MAKE anything anymore!!

    Yeah, we don't make a whole lot anymore, but what about the stuff we do make? The cars? They suck. Outdated tech and poor construction has killed the American Motor Industry, nothing else. People are going to go where the quality is, and American made doesn't seem to always be the case.

    the problem is not with Target, it is that nothing is made in the USA anymore, no matter where you shop


    and Target is better then Walmart based on what they do for their community and for their employees

    you got it twisted....they are just like wal-mart with their employees...and they do fake PR bullshit like most other shady companies do.

    how so, give an example, speaking from experience I have known people working for Target as sales associates for over $13/hour, far above the average wage earner for unskilled workers in Chicago.
