Wal-Mart has yanked a baby-crib accessory from its shelves after parents all across the country complained it disseminates a subliminal message of hate, but you wouldn't know it unless you called the major retailer.

It also serves the cheap bastards right for not buying the REAL Fisher Price version and getting the crap Wal-Mart version instead.

"A refund, I feel, is not good enough. More parents need to be made aware of this," argues parent Ellen Rogers of Martinsburg, W.V.
Here comes the lawsuit.

"You know China is not friends with us," Skelton said, speculating about the explanation for what she fears is a subliminal message hidden in the toy. "They're trying to get back at us. What's the best way? Teach kids when they're young to hate. It's scary."

Very true. And she's wondering why "China isn't friends with us."
I would like to formally disassociate myself with this ignorant dolt of a woman, and anyone else who thinks or acts like her. I may be an American citizen, but I am NOT part of that sector of Americans!
FFFAAAHHRRGHH! Those kinds of statements really boil my butter!

Two notes:
1)Found on worldnutdaily
2)Found nowhere else
Favorite quote:
"A half-dozen other parents across the country... have come forward to say they have the Wal-Mart toy and are horrified to find it spewing hate at their babies."
Dear Lord! A half dozen, you mean... 6 parents? 3 couples? Wow!
Shocking.
Seems like anti-Chinese fearmongering to me.

Oh, don't get me started on that stuff! It'll ruin my whole day. Not that there's much room to ruin it any more than it already has been by reading this story.
Oh well, at least it snowed for a couple hours here in Oregon today! That made me happy.
Speaking of snow and happiness, Canada is looking better and better every day. Any friendly Canadians want to help a poor disenchanted American get citizenship?

They have Walmart in Canada too. Although I don't shop there. I shop at Zellers instead. (think KMart with friendlier people)

Yes, because we should all strive to be pretentiously materialistic.

I think this quote is far more sane don't you?
"I think it is some sick person that wants to put thoughts into our children's minds. Kind of like a pedophile preys on children? This is no different. I work in a prison and I deal with these type of sick people everyday and who knows exactly why they do what they do?" said parent Hollie Konek from Princess Anne, Md."

Ok, considering the "gainfully" employed people that make these toys get paid nothing, and work in horrible conditions (usually). Do you really think they care what the toy says as long as its "soothing"?
I mean I worked at Hy-vee under better conditions and better pay and I still didn't give a crap what a customers problem was. This is just a classic case of westernization in China, their workers are finally viewing their jobs the same way 90% of Americans view their jobs.

You didn't have to break it to me. I knew that already, all too well. I have lived outside the U.S. before. Spent almost a year in Sweden. I know that's not much, but it's something.

Wal-Mart is a wonderful place to shop.
Fantastic prices.
They are a huge mega retailer..of course every now and then something is going to get thru by mistake... but it was a mistake and it has been corrected.

Here in Orlando I like the Wal-Mart not because of the low prices or moldy stomboli in the front cooler. I like it because it's across the street from UCF and I REALLY like the view. 
edit: I thought I might add that the hotties come into the store, I'm not like peeping across Colonial at the dorms or anything.

Well... I live most of the time in New York City in Manhattan..where there are no Wal-Marts or Targets.. so I would normally have to pay rediculous prices for things like laundry detergent.
However I travel a lot for work though and always make it a point to stock up at the Wal-Mart or Target stores before heading back to Gotham.

There is no Wal-Mart or Target, only Target. Target offers such a cleaner, nicer, better shopping experience, plus have name brands. Wal-mart is certainly cheaper, but all their stuff is off-brand and made in China. Good luck finding real automotive parts or electronics at Wal-Mart.
Target all the way!

I think the issue is you don't appreciate something until you don't have it.
New York City is ultra expensive. If you knew what I paid in rent for a one bedroom apartment you'd fall over.
So you have to do what you can to save money on everything. New York City (specifically Manhattan) makes it difficult as everything is expensive here.

OMG I seriously laughed my @#! off!
The report starts off all enigmatic, and mysterious.. Then it finally gets down to the report filed by the woman in Canada.
I wish that they hadn't recalled them so quickly, and that they would at least release the name of the product. I'm sure I could probably find one on ebay if I only knew what it was called.

Hah! Why do you ask if I have red hair? I find that a strange question, because I do have red hair! 
And by Mary's, you mean the strip club downtown? I am a little further south than that. And the zoo is pretty close.
Never been to the Jockey Club. I've got too many bars and such on the South side to keep me plenty busy.

My wife and I will be moving to P-town sometime this spring (barring disaster).
If anyone needs a pool-guy let me know. Um, they do have pools there right?

Well wait a minute, I may not be a native (grew up in Arizona), but I personally don't use an umbrella! I just tell all the newbies coming to town to bring one.
