    Are they made in China like the rest of Wal-Mart's crap? 'Cause I'm concerned about lead content. #walmart

    That lush velvet interior really helps the maggots wriggle up to your eyeballs and proceed to eat 'em up. #maggots

    Costco sells them as well, but you have to buy them in two packs. #walmart

    Ah, the "American Patriot"

    - 18 Gauge Steel
    - Stars and Stripes motif

    How come they're down to 14 models today from the 27 that you found? The PR was very very successful?

    Can we purchase one on the lay-away plan?

    Suggestions for new models:

    Verdant Splendor: comes with built-in grow lights.

    The Levi Johnston: with a discreet plexiglass viewing port.

    The Susan Finkelstein: Red, white, and blue, but otherwise lacking character. #walmart

    In an earlier decade, before I was trapped in this office, I worked for a international aid organization. I lived in both Africa and Asia.

    I can not think of any developing country where even the poorest of the poor would dress this way. Even if you are sleeping on the sidewalk in Calcutta, you want to look presentable. You dress properly because you respect yourself and the people in your community.

    These photos do NOT indicate poverty. Look the full shopping basket of the half-naked guy with the long hair.

    The photographs are evidence of the self-absorbed vulgarity of the American public. The attitude is: I don't give a fuck about you or the fact you have to look at my butt crack as you buy your discount Cheetos.

    I stopped in a Walmart this weekend on the way home from the beach in NC to stock up for the long drive up I-95. I needed to use the bathroom. Fucking spotless. Except for the graffiti on the toilet paper dispenser: "No Nigs."

    i walked into a wal-mart for the first time in years the other day and was struck by the vastness of it. the simon and garfunkel lyrics, "We've all come to look for America," came to mind.

    1) This idea appears to have been ripped off from a bit The Consumerist did a few years back.

    2) The implication seems to be that we don't have more than our fair share of pathetic slobs in New York. Visit a Conway or ride the subway for a reality check.

    Mark Twain and H.L. Mencken both mocked the "booboisie," the term Mencken "coined to describe the uncultured and witless who ran the country...", so the practice has a long and honorable heritage.

    @Jill7: Not sure it's the "booboisie" that's being taken to task here, but you're totally awesome for bringing Mark Twain and Mencken to the table.
