Manatee Gray...
Did anyone read this??

Target Apologizes for “Manatee” Dress for Plus-Size Women
The retailer said that calling the same style of dress in the exact same color “manatee gray” for the plus-size version and “dark heather gray” for standard sizes was an “unintentional oversight” that it’s working to fix.
~~~~~~
I'm just wondering. As a consumer does this offend you? Personally I'm not offended, I found it rather humorous to honest but I understand that some people are more sensitive than others.
Thoughts??

I did read about that! I'm not particularly offended by this. I think it's a hilariously embarrassing blunder by someone.0
-
Target uses the color "Manatee Gray" for a whole host of items. As such, it really does appear to be an honest and innocent mistake.0
-
Why did they choose black for larger ladies? Slimming? What if they want grey?!0
-
At first I chuckled, even as a plus sized lady. I feel bad if the lady's feelings were hurt though.0
-
All I care is if I like the d@mn dress. Some people are too sensitive. Don't like the color name = don't wear the tag. :laugh:0

1. HILARIOUS!
2. Why couldn't they have kept the "Heather Grey" name if it's the same dress but in plus sizes?
3. Manatees are awesome.0 -
manatee is describing the color not the size, so no one should be offended!0
-
Why would you buy something that offends you??0

I can understand people getting offended, I suppose, but they should understand a big chain like this would never do something like that intentionally. As someone previously mentioned, they use that color for a lot of things, and it was just a very unfortunate error in creating the tag. To be honest, I chuckled a bit, even as an overweight woman. :laugh:0

Yeah, what butthurtz said! Haha, that name really cracks me up...
But really, if it offends you so much, don't buy it. And if you intend to buy it, guess what? No one is gonna go "look at that fat girl, she's wearing manatee grey, haha." No one will know/care what color your dress is called.0 -
I love manatees! They're rare and wonderful animals. Why would anyone get offended by that?0

Some random thoughts...
If someone is really offended by something this minor, they probably have other issues with which to deal.
As a side note, Crayola used to make a peach colored crayon called "flesh".
Should overweight people be called "gravity enhanced"?0 -
As manatees ARE grey, I fail to see the issue.0 -
As manatees ARE grey, I fail to see the issue.

This proves that people are getting dumber. Some nitwit decided that it was all about her and made a stink until they catered to her. I think she should be ashamed of herself.0
