Wal-Mart - yet another nutty story...

#1 Unread post by QuietMonkey »

I tripped across this Wal-Mart bit in an odd place, but thought at the very least Mr. TotalMo would find it wierdly amusing in just how bizarre this company can be...

walmart truely is the worst company ever. and yes the party book burning just adds to it all. if anything the nazis represent walmart, they are the one censoring certain things out of their stores. if walmart doesnt approve then your out of luck.

"Wal-Mart makes a habit of not selling items it considers distasteful, and while that's not censorship, to some it has a similar smell."

Uhhhh.... they censor the music they sell. Anything closer to book burning than that? Kinda defeats their whole argument.

Yep, I still hate 'em.

If choosing not to sell something can be considered a form of censorship then I guess all businesses are guilty of censorship. :?
