Color Me Surprised

Via everyone's favorite Blog Of Seven (which we will get around to updating to the blog of seven in the links zone sometime soon. They'll probably be the blog of dozens by the time we do...), we see that the morally upstanding (cough) corpo-weasels at Wal-Mart, while refusing to stock any CDs with parental advisories on them, and famously refused to sell one of Sheryl Crow's CDs because it dared to criticize them for selling guns to children, proudly carries Birth of a Nation, the racist film based on a book about the Ku Klux Klan. They also carry the book the film was based on, and the rest of the racist screeds penned by that author. Until they received enough complaints to think about taking action, they also carried the anti-Semitic tripe misleadingly called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (that sounds like a title of a Zionist manual to us - but hey, what do we know? We're just a goy!).

Quick question for all of my relatives who gush about how much they like Wal-Mart, and how good all of the prices are there - do you enjoy supporting corporations that are morally hypocritical about this sort of thing? Or do you just not care - as long as you can get that $20 DVD player you've always wanted?
