Is Target a botnet? Why or why not?

In what way do you think that it might be a botnet?

That one time they thought some girl was pregnant and it turned out she actually was without knowing is one of the instances where it behaves just like a botnet.
Don't even get me started on Target's AP either.

I don't understand how they could possibly know that if she wasn't at least searching around the site for pregnancy shit. It's not like they are taking urine samples and testing every woman that pisses in the store.

>if she wasn't at least searching around the site for pregnancy shit.
That's the thing, she didn't even know she was pregnant until they slid her something one day that said "hey, you might like <things associated with pregnancies>". As a matter of fact, http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/19/magazine/shopping-habits.html
>a man walked into a Target outside Minneapolis
>demanded to see the manager
>“My daughter got this in the mail!”
>“She’s still in high school, and you’re sending her coupons for baby clothes and cribs? Are you trying to encourage her to get pregnant?”
>manager didn’t have any idea what the man was talking about, looked at the mailer
>addressed to the man’s daughter
>contained advertisements for maternity clothing, nursery furniture and pictures of smiling infants
>manager apologized
And then the following happened:
>manager called a few days later to apologize again
>“I had a talk with my daughter,”
>“It turns out there’s been some activities in my house I haven’t been completely aware of. She’s due in August. I owe you an apology.”
>"activities" in my house
And then when that NYT reporter that got wind of the story attempted to interrogate Target:
>offered to fly to Target’s headquarters to discuss
>"no one would meet me"
>fly anyway
>told I was on a list of prohibited visitors
>"fuck off"

If that's not proof of Target being a botnet, I don't know what is.

One thing you claimed is wrong, the daughter was aware just not the father.
