When I first heard about this, I thought maybe the target was supposed to be making a statement, via satire.
Alas, that turned out not to be the case.

Can anyone think of a superlative that encapsulates the concepts of greasiness, cheaply opportunistic vileness and worthless, putrid, shallow bottom-feedery all neatly wrapped up in one word?
I can't and it's annoying the hell out of me. If there is such a word, it needs to be written on the big, fat, semi-thawed fish that this "entrepeneur's" face needs to be slapped with.

Putrid shallow bottom-feedery... nice. Douche-cannon? I mean, that's my word. Misogynistic mouth-breathing douche-cannon is my phrase.
That doesn't quite suffice, though... Shall we build on that a bit?

Apparently, if you're willing to sell your soul, you can make a lot of money off of white supremacists. They have poor taste, no scruples, are easily satisfied, and quickly part with their money.
Idiots.
Idiots.

A defenseless black teenager must be less scary for them than say, a deer standing yards away.
As always, the comments section is where the real fun is.

1) The people buying these targets (for sincere, not ironic, use) are scumbag bigots. Despicable. Disgusting.
2) The guy selling them is a tasteless but very savvy businessman.
3) I can't agree with Zimmerman's attorney that the target-maker should be criminally charged. How is profiting off people's bigotry a crime? At the very least, the accusation of hatemongering is countered by the target maker's right to free speech. These items are clearly intended for private use. They aren't being used to organize or motivate groups of people to do violence.
The bigots were already out there saying and doing terrible things long before the Trayvon Martin tragedy.
I dunno, it seems kinda weird that we're focusing on how terrible the target-maker is when he says in the article that he's just trying to profit off the controversy. Why not focus on the armed and deluded crazies buying the targets?
Also, sorry if I missed something, but where did the "misogyny" remark come from? (Yorkist, post #6.) As far as I can tell this has been focused clearly on racism.

I don't see that making a profit justifies exploiting the suffering of Trayvon Martin's parents and friends when they see targets with his picture on them.
It's probably legal, but that in no way makes it moral.
I hope the bozos who bought them get the disgusted stare from the good people at the shooting range.
The very idea that people would buy something like this and actually shoot at it makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
Sick fuckers.

I agree with you. I think the attorney was concerned about how it would hurt his client. Because let's face it, it makes Zimmerman's side look like shit. But if you could charge him with a crime for that, you'd have to charge every news source who reported on the case as well.

I can't even imagine reading the comments. I won't click the link. It's too twisted.
Revolting.
Me too.
This. 100X.
I absolutely love this word. I think I'm going to start saying it, make it popular on this side of the sea.
I can't either. I know enough from reading the OP.
I think it's immoral and disgusting for the business owner to sell such things, but he IS just making profit off of something that some of these sick f-ers would probably create themselves if they had a shred of creativity in them.

Another insult to Trayvon's grieving parents. Those involved -- the designer of the target, those who use it -- they should try to think of Trayvon's parents and how this must hurt them. They will hear about it somehow and have to try to rid their minds of this hateful image.
Well, exactly. Regardless of what kind of person Trayvon was, we know, for a fact, that he was a 17 year old kid with parents who loved him very much and are grieving. That much can't really be disputed, by anyone.
