Stuff White People Like Bought by Target
March 31, 2008 by clander
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (PR Newswire) – The Target Corporation (TGT) has purchased the popular blog “Stuff White People Like” (http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com).
Starting April 1st, 2008 the nation’s second largest retailer will use the site as a promotional tool.
“We are thrilled at the opportunity,” says Ennis Blentic, Senior VP of Marketing at Target. “It’s a great chance for us to connect with some of our most valued customers and let them know about our great product line for 2008 and beyond.”
The company plans to have the regular writers do one post per week with the rest of the week devoted to posts that inform and educate customers about Target products.
The first campaign to be featured on the site will be for Target’s new line of Fresh Organic foods called “Tanner Farms.”
The brand new product line promises to deliver top quality organic vegetables, fruit, meat, organic cereal, chocolate, bread, and pasta to every Target store throughout the United States.
“We feel as though our customers would be better served if we offered a full organic grocery option in all of our locations,” says Blentic. “We can’t think of a better way to promote than through this amazing viral blog. We are also hoping to add user generated content where people can send stories, videos, and art about how they use Target organic foods in their daily lives.”
Blog founders Christian Lander and Myles Valentin will be retained as consultants.
“I’m really happy to be working with Target,” says Lander. “I think this is a great partnership and a true step forward in the future of advertising.”
“White people love Target!” joked Valentin. “But in all seriousness, we could not have selected a better corporate partner. I think Target’s new organic line will really change the way that people eat and shop.”
Regular readers of the site will be offered free shipping on their next order at Target.com with the code “STUFFWHITEPEOPLELIKE.”

I’m glad we’ve come to a unanimous decision on the topic: Target is equal to or greater than The Cormier Cock Tease
Hilarious. At first I was horrified and then I read the end and laughed out loud.
This is awesome news! We love shopping at Target and many of our Canadian friends take special trips across the border JUST to go shopping there.
Hey Target! When are you shipping or coming to Canada? You would have a very powerful presence here if you did. Our business, Acquire Benefits Groups, has some special discounts for Target shoppers. Would it really matter though as you already get a lot of bang for your buck at Target.
I just saw that Update at the bottom.
Man I just got burned!
i love how many people commented on this without reading the end.
When I go to Target, I see a mix of people. When I go to Walmart is when I see a lot of poor whites. This blog should be called, “Stuff Affluent White People Like”. Most whites in the US are far more like “All in the Family” than 90210 or Dynasty.
My mom works for Target…. What Puerto Ricans we are!!!
Much regards,,

White people are not all the same. I know some people argue that it’s not kosher for white individuals to participate in acts such as the CCT. Some will become more than embarrassed during the act and promptly blush while covering one’s face. It is all too common among the species to continuously victimize others in this manner and someone needs to put an end to this cruelty!
The CCT isn’t understood by most people and they believe it to be some horrifying, taboo topic. If more people just tried to understand it, prevention would be higher and it wouldn’t be so “offensive.” Parents, talk to your kids about CCT.
Papa Bear CCT, if you are referring to the Cormier Cock Tease, then I am deeply offended and they should have you expelled from this blog.
Isn’t Target just another big box store with cheap shit made in sweet shops? I don’t think I will shop there so I can continue feeling superior. I also heard they employ illegals to stock the shelves at night, and use the social security numbers collected from college students who’s applications were tossed.
The sweetest shops in the world :wub:
LOVE target!!! Its not white trash like Walmart!!! lol
Apparently, White People like to sell out
Congratulations SWPL! May I please have a small percentage of your Target dough.
