Guess we'll have to find something new to blog about:
[T]he Internet [Ed. note — Read: BoingBoing] has been abuzz about an alleged hack into Target's Web operations, where its online store site appeared to offer items for sale that one wouldn't normally expect to find at the mainstream retailer. When customers typed "marijuana" into the search feature of Target's Web site, books and CDs about marijuana appeared that Target wouldn't want to sell. Worse–at least for Target–books, CDs and DVDs related to sex and drugs appeared when other words were entered.
"When a guest logs on to Target.com and searches for a particular word, that search includes Amazon.com's millions of books, music and (movie) titles," Target said in its statement. "Target.com is currently working with Amazon.com to suppress certain titles from the Amazon.com catalog from appearing on the Target.com web site."
Link to News.com story, and link to related BoingBoing posts about Target selling anal massage, more anal massage, blowjobs, crack, MDMA, and marijuana. That was quite some inventory! (thanks Steve)
