Sometimes Drag Just Isn't Funny: Video Inside

Wal-Mart’s constant quest for the lowest price, has finally come, to well, bite them in their big proverbial corporate ass.

Video production company, Flagler Productions, who had been videotaping Wal-Mart meetings since the 1970s, got the Wal-Mart treatment and was fired recently, without notice. Since Flagler Productions business was about 95% dependent on Wal-Mart, the company gave back what Wal-Mart gave them. They sold off those over twenty years of video tapes to the highest bidder.

And, oh, what a treasure trove of materials, they have provided.

In addition to the multitudes of anti-union talk (no surprise here), we get to see the corporate male leaders of Wal-Mart do a drag show, ending with CEO Lee Scott, patting one of the men in drag on the bottom.

View the video below and judge for yourselves.

Obviously, Wal-Mart corporate execs were having a good time, with lots of laughter at the time.

Considering that Wal-Mart now faces the largest class action gender lawsuit in the history of the United States, their little drag show is just not that funny.

In June 2004, U.S. District Court Judge Martin Jenkins granted class-action status to 1.6 million current and former female Wal-Mart employees who charge the company with paying women less and offering them fewer opportunities for promotion.

1. Karma is a bitch, isn't it?

Fuck Wal-Mart...I hope they get everything that they deserve.

2. This isn't drag. It's a parody of drag. Walmart is scary on so many levels.
