But Are They Cheaper Than In The States?

I've argued about Target's Canadian strategy in the past.  Particularly against their laying off Zellers' employees.  It takes a lot of balls to do something like that.  And sure enough, here they are:


What are those things?  Sometimes you see posts in front of the doors to protect them, but these aren't even in line with the doors.  I took this picture a while back and never got around to publishing it.  But this week with all the news stories about Target's poor performance in Canada, I saw plenty of interviews in which interviewed shoppers complained about the disappointing prices and poor selection while standing in front of the Target store.  And apparently Targets have these big red balls in front of them from Victoria to St. John's. 

You didn't hear this from me, but if any drunk frat boys out there want to act out the "Project Mayhem" section of Fight Club, how about setting up a ramp in front of the bull's eye on the sign, and then rolling the balls towards the sign in the world's largest game of skee-ball?
