Target is no stranger to teaming up with fashionistas.  They’re worked with all kinds of major labels on their merchandise, which brings haute couture down to Hot Pocket prices.  People love it, but they’ve never loved it the way they loved Target’s newest team-up.  The fashion house Missoni has released a limited collection from now until October 22 at Target, and it was so popular that it did the unthinkable.  The response for the Missoni launch crashed Target’s website.

“We had around 30 to 40 people at the doors this morning,” said Ashley Keinath, a manager at Target Greatland in Michigan, whose store was mostly sold out of Missoni merchandise after an hour.  “There were guests who had multiple carts with multiple items. … All day, the team was talking about how it felt like Christmas, the day after Thanksgiving.”

Not knowing what Missoni clothes are or what they looks like, I went to Target’s website to find out.  Guess what?  It’s STILL down!  Looks like I won’t be learning about fashion today; I guess that’s okay with me, since I prefer to dress like a 14-year-old goth.  Whatever Missoni’s thing might be, it has to be better than robotic cat ears and the Snuggie, so I’m for it.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
