3. Mass mindless consumption with propaganda blaring over the loudpeakers
The movie They Live is now a reality.

21. Creepy, isn't it?
I got freaked out about 12 years ago at the Macy's at Lenox Square Mall b/c they had these giant tv screens surrounding the escalator that were showing a bunch of half-naked kids talking about how "Tommy" they felt. They had this creepy music in the background - but the Wal-mart image is much worse - sort of like that assembly line in Pink Floyd's "The Wall"!

5. How appropriate. roger ailes can watch his boy go down in flames on...
...his pitiful excuse of a network featuring the most embarrassingly biased news department on the planet that helped start this mess in the first place. And all this fun can be had at an any convenient location of one of the worst employers on the entire planet. You know who I'm talking about, some of the richest people in the U.S., and *SURPRISE*, some of the biggest donors to $hrubco and the g.o.p.

Will pat robertson be hosting the event with color commentary by God?

9. Uh..Walmart..over 50%of the population would be against this.
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 03:38 PM by NoMoreMrNiceGuy
I would think it would be economically wise not to do such a thing as this. They need to be pounded like Sinclair.

EDIT: Lets all go to Walmart on election day and then request to see a manager and tell them that that propaganda station is offensive to us...if they refuse walk out and tell them that is the last time you'll come there...if they change it...grab a shopping cart and walk around for awhile without buying anything.

10. Now that is it
I just wrote them about not selling Jon Stewart's and George Carlin's book. This is the final straw. This is absolute fascism when the biggest retailer restricts books and puts on propaganda tv. Fuck Walmart, never again.

20. I Was at a Sam's Club Yesterday
(My mom works there, so don't yell at me)

Anyway, if you count my car and my mom's car, I counted 7 cars in the parking lot that had Kerry/Edwards stickers. I counted ZERO Bush/Cheney stickers. This is in a very conservative part of Michigan.
