8. "Walton Family Values"
The new name in reality TV!

I hear they're even going to do a seance to raise Sam's spirit from the dead!

4. Very true! Big selection too. Even have the ribbed and magnums in store!
:wow:

And, yes, the 'ribbed' and 'her pleasure' varieties are for her benefit. Pretty wild for a 'family values' company.

5. But they don't sell stickered CDs. I don't get that double standard.

7. If by 'good family values' you mean
not giving people 40-week jobs, no healthcare, supporting (actually, insisting on) sweatshops all over the world, causing local stores to go under, wanting to put RFID chips in all yopur products so you can manipulate your consumers even more, and helping create a market for all sorts of disposable plastic shit that will poison our children's water for generations?

Then yeah, they're ALL about the family values. ;)
