Thanks, but I think I'll take the subway.
Double-Decker buses are fashionable. Target is fashionable. And, British fashion designer Luella Bartley is fashionable. So we're all synced up here. But, well,Britain + Double-Decker Bus + Target = This.
At least, that was my first thought.

Thats my bus route!
I so miss the routemaster busses. Such a pity they decided to do away with them and replace them with the ugly 'bendy' busses.
Ha, I had similar thoughts while carrying a jaunty Target shopping bag during that sniper thing a few years back.
Oh, I don't know if it's all that bad...
man, i loved it. I <3 the collection...went to buy bright and early right when they opened at 10 am. How can you beat a cute hearts and skulls tote bag for $20 bucks. You can't. That's why I'm on the bus.
Sure beats going underground or the super crowded MTA buses. I've always thought they should bring over the double decker.
The above 2 anon-a-posts are obviously by toadies who work for Target or their affiliated PR/ad agencies. So, just ignore them. Thank you.
this toadie actually works for a non-profit org in midtown. i am neither a blogger, nor an "other", thus am "anonymous".
the entire concept is catchy: the double decker, the collection, the fact that it's mobile, and you don't need to go into the Bronx or Brooklyn to access the nearest Target.
The fact that they're selling stuff from the bus is quite nice. But, the overall concept is still quite queasy. Sorry, it's how it hit me.
oh, see, you're just encumbered by a soul AND a conscience.
shed those, and then you'll see how truly aweseom it is.
Anonymous here. Copy, do you not take planes to travel? you shouldn't take the subway either. if you're so afraid of bombings, you really shouldn't leave your seat... ever. your london bombing argument is such a weak cop-out! you can do better than that! i don't think that the people of new york are going to see the bus and immediately think "terrorists" or "london bus bombing of 2005". it works exactly because there is no frame of reference here in the states. people are going to see it as a foreign novelty. it's brilliant.
I take the subway every day. And sorry again, while personally I would ride this pretty bus all day if there was a reason for me to, putting targets on a red bus from London is not brilliant. What, you think New Yorkers don't still have a "frame of reference" (that's some fancy words) from a bombing that happened only 7 months ago? Please. But thanks for reading and thoughtfully critiquing.
Maybe I can get a free ride across town by 'just browsing.'
That's just all kinds of wrong.
