Couple Buys Entire Jason Wu For Target Stock At Miami Store (VIDEO)

We knew the Jason Wu for Target launch would cause chaos, panic, pandemonium, etc., but apparently it's inspired at least one act of out-and-out villainy.

A couple in Miami hit up a Target store this weekend and decided to buy out the entire Jason Wu for Target stock, which only hit the shelves on Sunday.

NOT. COOL.

In this YouTube video of the fashion crime, irate shoppers look on as the perps haul their carts (plural!) filled with Jason Wu goods to the register and check out amidst jeers and heckles.

Ginger Harris, who witnessed the event and posted photos, reports on her blog that the cops even got involved after the male supposedly shoved a woman who was in line. Yikes!

Is cleaning out all of the merchandise like that legal? Well, yes, although Target is supposed to enforce a two-piece-per-person limit. Regardless, it's definitely not nice. The couple reportedly told pissed-off onlookers that they could buy the merchandise from them outside.

We're guessing most kept walking.

That's tacky but it's all cheap polyester anyway regardless of whose name is on it or who designed it.

Why are they are GUEST RELATIONS rather than a normal cashier? Seems like they are Target employees or friends of Target employees. It'll ALL end up on ebay at a huge premium

The Jason Wu fabrics are really POOR quality. There is a bunch of cra* left at the San Diego Targets. Missoni sold out in like 2 hours. Missoni was good quality. Jason Wu- poor quality thin rayon that is itchy and super see-through.

There is a ton of this collection left at my local Target in most sizes...Missoni sold out in hours.

Welcome to Miami! Moved here less than a year ago and this kind of behavior is not unusual. People buying merchandise to resell elsewhere, rudeness, bad customer service, etc...Not saying everyone is the same but definitely have never seen anything like this before. Like they say...it is a different world down here and this coming from a latino so, this is not a rant against anyone in particular.

Good example of how opportunists do not care about fair or share. Kind of like banks and Mitt Romney.

Who cares? The clothes at Target are of such poor quality that slapping a designer's name on them is a joke.

Some of us can't splurge heavily on Prada, Gucci, or other high-end name brands. Compared to many (!) other stores you'd find in Generic Mall USA, you're dead-wrong about Target's clothing quality (in general, anyway); it's all relative.

I'd normally agree with you about branding, but in the case of Target, I don't; their clothing is far better made than many department stores' and other retailers [that ridiculously price their cheaper-quality clothing for much more.]

They went to Target and bought a bunch of stuff.

Isn't that exactly what they want you to do?

The whiners are annoying though.

This made me angry, until I went to Target.com and saw that a majority of his collection is still available there in all sizes.

Nevertheless, this is wrong.

It sold-out online within 5 minutes of the midnight Feb. 5th online launch so I don't know what you are talking about.

This is what makes America great! I hope no one buys any of this stuff from them on ebay!

This makes me so mad. I would be tempted to pour bleach all over their carts.
Or, pray for them. It's a coin toss.

You could pray for someone to pour bleach all over their carts.
