jason wu makes target shoppers go crazy



Sunday might have been a big day for football, but it was a huge day for fashion-minded mobs trying to get their hands on heralded designer Jason Wu's limited edition line for Target. Across the country, people lined up outside Target stores at the buttcrack of dawn for a piece of that sweet, sweet discount couture.

Some fortunate shoppers got what they wanted. Others were left to choose from the scraps after the Wu racks got picked clean. And then there's this villainous couple in Miami, aka "The Vultures," who reportedly cleaned out a store and bought out the entire Wu collection: 'Fashion Vultures' Ruin the Jason Wu for Target Collection Launch in Miami.
But one couple in Miami hit up a Target store this weekend and selfishly bought out the entire Wu collection. This is an action that goes totally against the store policy of 2 items per customer. One blogger who was there wrote that everyone was calling this couple "The Vultures Who Ruined Jason for Target." She also explains that police came and that the corporate headquarters of Target was contacted but said the store could not legally enforce the 2 item limit.

In the YouTube video below of the fashion crime, other angry shoppers look on in amazement as the couple haul their carts filled with Jason Wu garments to the register and check out amid angry heckles and insults.

To make matters more incendiary, the greedy couple taunted the other customers saying they could buy the outfits (at a higher price) from them outside the store, although they also talked about selling all their stash on eBay.com. What is this world coming to?
Here's the video of the vultures in question, hoarding their wares. And they apparently got to work right away -- there were reportedly 11,000 of these suckers on sale by the end of the day. Hey, people get crazy for some Jason Wu. So was it really worth it? More here: Masstige madness continues with Jason Wu for Target.
