You will not find a physical copy of Frank Ocean's CD at Target

"Target has refused to carry Frank's album because of iTunes exclusive," Clancy wrote in a (since-deleted) tweet. "Interesting since they also donate to non-equal rights organizations."

In 2010, Target was the subject of a boycott organized by MoveOn.org after it was revealed that the Minneapolis-based retailer donated $150,000 to the political group Minnesota Forward, which backed several candidates across the state, including gubernatorial hopeful Tom Emmer, who reportedly supported an anti-gay ministry. It was not clear whether Clancy was referring to that particular donation in his tweet, and while MTV News' attempts to contact him for clarification proved unsuccessful, he's subsequently written another message that reads:

"Note to self: Take your own advice. Emotional knee-jerk reacting isn't the move."

It bears mention that Target does stock albums by openly gay artists like Adam Lambert and Elton John, and in recent months, began selling gay pride T-shirts, with proceeds going to the Family Equality Council, which supports the rights of LGBT parents. Though, from the sound of things, at least one of Clancy's points was spot-on: they won't be selling Channel Orange.
