A gazillion tons of imported crap flow through the isles of this shithole every year, but certain things just piss off the management and rub their moral thighs the wrong way.

Enjoy

1. those panties were sold in the juniors department. personally, i think it's

a good thing they stopped stocking them, & i don't consider it "banning". stores pick & choose what fashions to stock. that's what they do.

i think it's a good thing they don't stock underwear for teens saying "i'll screw you for money".

2. Um, I think the point is, Walmart did NOT ban those panties.

If they did, pls cite a source.

9. 1 Place I Avoid...Wally World...

For over 20 years I've avoided going in or near a Wal-Mart. It started with their rapid expansion that destroyed many small downtowns and mom & pop shops in small and medium size towns in the Midwest. Since then the list has grown with their treatment of employees and bait and switch games. My wife used to stop there occasionaly and now she avoids the place saying going in there is a depressing experience. We gladly pay a little more of stuff you can get at Wal-Mart at local merchants...knowing the money is far better spent there than to pad some right wing's bank account in Benton, AR.

10. Interesting.

11. Cuban Pajamas

Wal-Mart’s Canadian stores found themselves in a pickle in 1997. The Canadian subsidiary had begun selling Cuban-made pajamas at eight bucks a pop across our neighbor to the North, which enraged both the company’s home office and the U.S. Treasury Department.

The stores quickly pulled the offending PJ’s, which led to a second problem: this action may have violated a Canadian law that forbids abiding by the American embargo of Cuba. After the Ottawa government pointed out that Wal-Mart could face a million-dollar fine for pulling the sleepwear from its shelves, the Canadian Wal-Marts reversed the ban after one week.

11. Hmmm... Seems like community pressure, local laws, and...

common sense got most of that stuff banned, not Wally's puritanical sensibilities.
