The Two Coreys No More

The Edgar Frog Chronicles

Target is met with mixed emotions in this country.  For some it's a pillar of inexpensive fashion.  For others, it's the death kneel of the mall department store.  For those like me, it's the place your forced to frequent with a smile for the sole purpose of keeping domestic peace.  Think hard my brothers, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Last weekend, I realized something else about Target.  It's presently hosting the most robust proof that America's shining paladin stature has melted into mucus on a 6-year-old's jacket.  While escaping the talons of dressing room comment, I saw it.  Shining boldly in the electronics section, posted on what I'm sure was a Chinese-made marquee, the prophecy read:  "New Releases:  Lost Boys:  The Tribe, July 29, 2008." 

Need we any further proof that America's course has changed.  Not only was Corey Haim extirpated from the cast, the sequel to the iconic 80s thriller is a "straight to DVD" Target special?  I'm in shock!  Here, see for yourself:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031254/.  Or better yet, embrace the mediocrity and buy the movie.  It's on sale right now at Target.

What dark day for the American spirit.
