Buying a Fork For $151? PRICELESS!

Having exhausted all contacts, (okay, I asked one person I knew), I’m going under the assumption that what I got sent to me is actually a viral campaign for Target, because, well, THERE’S BIG RED LOGOS EVERYWHERE. I appreciate a good one-line gmail stealth campaign as much as the next person, but if this is actually for the retailer, an otherwise clever idea and simple execution of the awkward price proposition was absolutely wasted.

To go through the trouble of avoiding brand mentions but then give the idea away right as you enter the site seems like a waste. If this isn’t for them? It’s okay. I’m an ad blogger. Facts don’t matter with us when compared to real journalists. Either way, it’s still a whacked site and props to the creators.
