Saw these in Target as I hit the fourth and last store in my area trying to score some cheap Duraloops.

Seriously? a 2500 mAh NiMH D cell? So you want me to pay the same price for a 2-pack of fake *** D cells as I would for a GOOD pack of 4 AAs that each have almost the same capacity? Are you HIGH?
But wait, there's more

they come in C cell size too! Oh joy!
I mean, really. It's not that they managed to put out a *bad* cell, to make one this pathetic takes real effort. It's like they're just saying expletive you, consumers, we want to sell you our (admittedly excellent) lithium primaries, so we're going to make our rechargeables suck so much dong that if you're dumb enough to actually buy them the taste in your mouth will be literally like kissing your crazy bipolar ex-girlfriend, but without any of the good parts."
And *good* brands like Eneloop, Maha Imedion, and Tenergy Centura are nowhere to be seen on your average store's shelves. (Notable exception: I have seen Tenergy Centuras in C, D, and 9V - but not in AA or AAA - on the shelf at Micro Center.)
Am I alone in being insulted by this?
