Target told '88' is neo-Nazi symbol
Before school starts next week, parents may want to check to see if that cap or shorts their kids bought at Target this summer is sporting neo-Nazi symbols.

The red-and-black apparel has skulls and the numbers "eight-eight" written out and in numerical form. To most, it may look like the latest in "edgy" teen ware; but within the White Power subculture, "88" is slang for "Heil Hitler." The eight refers to H, the eighth letter of the alphabet — put the two together, and you have shorthand for the Nazi salute.

The Minneapolis-based retailer said it's pulling the merchandise off the shelves of its 1,100 stores nationwide. It issued a statement Tuesday apologizing for the apparel. On Wednesday, store officials added that the chain will give refunds to customers who've bought the merchandise.

11. oh, sure

you deny your heritage by going blonde "at last" and now you're throwing around neo-nazi symbolism and playing all innocent like? What's next, an article in the sudden popularity of the new dance known as the 'goose-step'? and a charming piece on the newfound popularity of jackboots and brown shirts? :)
