Some Target shoppers say a label that listed the color of a plus-size dress as "manatee gray" was insulting.
The label for the same dress in smaller sizes described it as "dark heather gray."

Fashion designers were probably lulling away during the naming process.

Aaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha.
Fat people are even worse when they're whining about something.

That's an insult to manatees everywhere.
They actually have genetics to blame.

Hahahahahahaahhahahahaha!!! This is awesome!
I'm sure that the designers had only hide color in mind, not its size, but still... it's fascinating how fatties want designers clothes for fat people, yet don't want it ever acknowledged that they're for fat people.
I guess it's the manatee in the room.

Why is the plus size $3 cheaper? Doesn't it use more fabrics?

Less labor. They don't have to do any of the side-stitching that gives the garment a shape. It's basically just one large fabric sack with a neck hole in it.

Sounds more like a poncho than a dress.

Do they explain to the kids in the sweatshops that they're making clothing for people who have so much food they chose to become disgustingly unhealthy? Or do they just say its for some zoo animals?

Haha fuck thats funny. I read this across WSJ today.
Now I'm going to add manatee in front of every color for fatties.
"Hey is that a manatee purple dress?"

Damn that's hilarious. I've been chuckling for the last 15 minutes.
Three theories. Maybe the factory in China or wherever they have their clothes made doesn't employ a fully-fluent English speaker in the marketing or distribution departments. I remember a small furor a couple of years ago when some big department store was selling a couch that was "Nigger Brown" for this reason. Or, perhaps some stupid Target marketing gal was trying to spread her care for the ocean's creatures to the whole world, since she failed in her childhood dream of becoming a marine biologist. Most likely, however, it was probably a dude, and he probably knew exactly what he was doing. It was probably his last day, and he wanted to do some IRL trolling of fatties.

Fucking classic.

The infernal Jizzbel had a write up on it yesterday but "Nigger Brown"? For our spring line we have Chinky Yellow, Cracka White and the increasingly popular Manatee Gray.

Don't like it? Lose some damn weight. Society truly needs more instances of these.
Target under fire for labeling plus sized dress "Manatee Grey" - ZeD9 - 04-20-2013
That is truly funny. Maybe it'll even shame a few lardasses into losing a few. But probably not...

It's going to take shaming of a far harsher level to accomplish that.
