Man (er, woman), do we love Sarah Haskins — she of the hilarious, dearly departed Current TV segment "Target: Women." We've watched and laughed along with almost every single one of her "really?" clips, calling out products from mops and cleaning supplies to yogurt for their ridiculously skewed and erred female-targeted marketing. Tonight's panel at Housing Works offers a rare chance to catch the LA-based comic and writer in NYC, joining other funny, acerbic ladies to eviscerate various marketing strategies (and perhaps offer a few tips).
