I never understood why people are so shitty towards walmart. I shop there all the time. I think they have nice things to buy at really low prices, so what's the big deal? I bought a few really nice suits there.

Seeing an old man in Kenya wearing a TriDelt Date Night shirt=he doesn't have anything else to wear because Kenya's a poor as hell country.

Seeing Bubba in Wal-Mart wear a shirt that says "I hate Queers"=he's an ignorant a-hole.

No one (outside of middle school girls) would make fun of someone who didn't have anything else to wear; the creators of the website have said as much--they get pictures that they don't publish because it's clear that the people really are down and out.

This whole thing reminds me of the outrage some of my friends had about whythefuckdoyouhaveakid.com. They said it was classist and racist. Dude, it's neither classist nor racist--some people are just going to do stupid shit. I will not make fun of someone for being poor. I will, however, make fun of them for doing stupid shit.

i don't see the classism. it's a NASCAR #38 limousine.

THANK YOU!!!! And that's what seems to happen at Wal-Mart, at least the ones I've been to. Those t-shirts they sell that I see their customers wearing are as dumb as the people wearing them. Oh, and try standing in a long line at a self service checkout station, all because some moron doesn't know how to use the uscan station (helloooo it talks to you...duh...what part of that don't they get?), so then the line gets longer and longer. So much for speedy check out. It happens everytime, they are SO slow. It's like the wheel is spinning but the hamster's alseep. The other places I go, people don't seem as slow. I avoid Wal-Mart at all cost.

I thought the website was funny :shrug:

I don't know why it's automatically assumed that these folks are poor and that anyone who laughs will burn in hell for promoting classism.
