Wal-Mart is an epidemic...
 
Nothing new, right?

But check out this animation, it's pretty cool. Pretty sad too, really...

wal-mart does as much good as it does bad.

Wal-mart is a store that sells shit.

See that sign up here? - up here..."Defcon." That indicates our current defense condition. It should read "Defcon 5," which means peace. It's still on 4 because of that little stunt you pulled. Actually, if we hadn't caught it in time, it might have gone to Defcon 1.

i just bought a kickass toothbrush there the other day.

a sonicare (uses batteries) for $28. i bet it costs $40 elsewhere. sonicares used to cost $200 back in the 90s. long live commerce.

i don't mind walrats even though it's a dump-- properly mined, it's a useful dump.

My thoughts exactly. I have one of those ballin' toothbrushes too. I paid like $160 for the top of the line one two years ago.
