junk mail (email) from Target

Did Prince give our email address to Target? I have never received an email from Target and today I had one. I don't want junk mail....Plus, there was not mention of Prince.


Did anyone else get this?

A Target Center email showed up in my in-box today. Purps sold his list. No fucking scruples, that guy. Most other artist's sites specifically say that they won't sell their lists. Not Prince's.

Time will tell if other companies obtain the list.

Not that big of a deal, but super cheesy on his part.

No emails for me either.I doubt he gave emails to target.
y do people automatically want to judge Prince's "Scruples" beacuse they got an email from target? that could have come from anywhere. if you don't want emails..un-subscribe. dAmn!!

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

I'm getting one every day. That's like 356 seconds a year. I'd rather use that time to respond to your posts.

Poor analogy. There's no comparison between dealing with the aftermath of a car accident and deleting an e-mail.

you should have the option of filing future emails from them in your junk mail inbox, which i never check

i got one from Target too but the letters were all mixed up so i copied it and pasted it below

"Yes, please send me e-mails about special offers, exclusives and promotions from Target. See our Privacy Policy. (Learn More)"

Like most commercial websites, the Target website requires one to exercise a negative option regarding future e-mails when placing an online order. If you don't exercise the negative option by unchecking the appropriate box, you're explicitly giving Target permission -- as indicated by the above-quote language from their website -- to send you e-mail solicitations.
