1. Especially if their name ends with Latifa

[ronnykmarshall]

42. Oh no you di'nt???

I guess you did.

[DS1]

54. I did, but only to help fuel the flamewar fire

I'm rather indifferent on the matter, but I'll say she's attractive, and talented, and I'm glad to see her branching out. And while I haven't actually seen any of this Wal*Mart shilling that's so rampantly slathered all over your thread, I'm not one to pass judgement.

[Richardo]

2. No obligatory popcorn smiley?

Disappointing. :(

[kick-ass-bob]

4. Didn't you get the memo? We're out of popcorn.

5. Life is not worth living then.

:cry:

[Zuni]

16. I'll die if I have to find another buttery snack treat

[Midlodemocrat]

30. Zuni!!!!

Where've you been???? :hug:

[XNASA]

3. You forgot 'stupid'.

[Richardo]

6. ...and musically challenged.

[ohiosmith]

7. ...and smell funny

[Misunderestimator]

10. ... and they gossip and use bad language

[asthmaticeog]

17. Hey, guess what I just fuckin' heard!

:evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

18. ... soap is in aisle 3 mister

[asthmaticeog]

22. You joke, but I fearlessly predict

that soap-to-mouth (STM) discipline will soon take its place alongside crushing and furries as the next big internet sexual fetish.

[ContraBass Black]

25. Crushing?

[asthmaticeog]

27. If you have to ask, you probably don't want to know.

I sure wish *I* didn't know. :scared:

[Misunderestimator]

26. Oooh... you could be right...

[Spider Jerusalem]

8. I have to say that when I find myself in a Wal-Mart...

(which isn't very often), the people I see there look like the sort of people I'd expect to see in a Wal-Mart.

Of course, although I do occasionally find myself in a Wal-Mart (late at night when nowhere else is open) I don't count--I'm 6' (183 cm), about 140 pounds (10 stone/63 kg), and not, from what I'm told, ugly (unless all of those women were lying to me).

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

44. Whoa, mang, you're skinny!

[hfojvt]

62. those are almost exactly

my height and weight.
However, apparently I am ugly, unless all those women were lying to me.

[Shell Beau]

9. Nah, just ignorant!

[RandomKoolzip]

11. And everyone at CostCo is intelligent and attractive.

[Zuni]

12. that is SO true

:thumbsup:

[RandomKoolzip]

20. It's axiomatic: the comapny who donates to liberal causes....

....automatically gains a consumer base that's easy on the eyes. Am I correct or am I right?

[asthmaticeog]

13. Actually, I went to a CostCo for the first time a few weeks ago,

and everyone in there was fat and ugly, too.

Oh, wait, I live in OHIO...

[RandomKoolzip]

19. Well, as a fat and ugly person, I choose not to be associated

with EITHER company. Fuck them both! I shop at Whole Foods and buy my non-foods at small chains.

This fat and ugly man has better things to do with his time than shop. Like bitch about things he can't change on some obscure political message board....

[HughBeaumont]

32. Isn't that like, ANY store you go to in Ohio besides Trader Joe's

Chain Link Addiction and various bookstores?

[asthmaticeog]

53. Chainlink?

They cater to GOTHS, man, there are plenty of not-so-hot lookers passing through those doors. There's a reason for all that white makeup.

Shit, the guy who founded that store is a buddy of mine, and even HE was occasionally dumbfounded by some of the customers.

[Midlodemocrat]

23. Especially the people who shop there!!!!

:thumbsup:

[cfield]

14. Yep, I need to lose 20 and start wearing better makeup

so I fall into fat and ugly. Even when I'm not at Walmart.

[Bridget Burke]

15. How did you discover this fact?

Did you go to WalMart?

If so, stay off my antique chair & put this paper bag over your head!

[texas1928]

21. HEY

I had to get somethings.

Sorry

[sundog]

24. chin up tex

every cloud has a silver lining or something like that

:grouphug:

[jpgray]

36. Plus if you repeat sundog's advice, you'll get huge lats

[jobycom]

28. You callin' my momma fat and ugly?

:cry:

[Dangerously Amused]

29. Really?

Does being "fat" automatically make someone "ugly"? Because I've known some ugly skinny people in my time.

I've even known some gorgeous people in great shape, who were ugly inside, where it really counts.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

45. You forgot to mention if you know any good looking fat people...

[Dangerously Amused]

57. Of course. I've known tons of good looking fat people.

Affectionate pun intended.

[Dukkha]

31. Not the employees

Rarely do I venture into the Devil's lair, but I've noticed most of the employees seem thin. Rather malnourished in fact. Most likely because they make poor wages and can't afford to feed themselves. Also they get plenty of exercises since they're not allowed to go on break and the 3rd shift crew gets locked in the store at night. Oh yes and they make then do that god awful spirit-breaking cheer in the morning.

[tigereye]

33. and the numerous Waltons who own Walmart

are exceedingly rich, well-fed, and probably skinny and bo-toxed to the max. And the poverty of those that buy there (or the middle class that need to buy cheap goods due to stagnant wage structures) keeps the Waltons rolling in dough and on the upper reaches of the Forbes money list.

Isn't there an interesting point here, CA's flamebait not withstanding?

[CanuckAmok]

34. Yeah, but without the flamebait, it's a cake without icing!

And for the record, I don't equate fat with ugly, or vice-versa.

I think Queen Latifah and Kirstie Alley are pretty hot, and they're 'fat'. Conversely, Kid Rock is pretty damned ugly, but he ain't fat.

[tigereye]

35. I know, just making a point

well, for the heck of making one. (having missed all the previous debates...)

[CanuckAmok]

37. Hey, start your own ruckus; this one is mine!

:P

[HEyHEY]

38. Well, yeah, low wages = poor diet

[CanuckAmok]

41. still doesn't explain the ugly.

I need answers.

[HEyHEY]

43. Nature

Poor Diet = ugly

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

46. Yeah, but a poor diet isn't necessarily a low-calorie one...

McDonald's is cheap.

[HEyHEY]

49. YOu're cheap!

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

50. ...and easy.

[Initech]

39. I nearly spit beer all over my TV when I first heard of Wal-Mart dating...

I mean most of the people I've seen in the two times I've been in Wal-Marts are either fat, stupid, have several kids, or are just plain ugly. And this is in CALIFORNIA, I might add!

[Heidi]

40. But we're not those "elitist" liberals the right talks about,

are we?

[Burma Jones]

47. I am

:evilgrin:

[Heidi]

48. Congratulations.

Smarty-pants.

[Burma Jones]

51. ..

:yoiks:

[jobycom]

52. But of course we think these are our natural constituents

Call people fat and ugly, then wonder why some people can't see that "liberals" are really better for them than the Republicans they vote for.

[DrDebug]

55. Hey, shut up. I had a girlfriend who worked at Wal*Mart

And yes we split up quite a while ago, so don't insult my ex-girlfriends. She wasn't ugly or fat either. Well slightly chubby and messed up, basketcase etc. but still think that she was cute in a way... She couldn't help working for Wal*Mart since nobody else wanted her and she quit calling them a bunch of rotten bastards.

[democracyindanger]

56. Sure you don't mean "Everybody at Wal*Marts in Canada"?

Precision counts.

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

58. I went to walmart

the other day to use a gift card I got for christmas, I was suprised that there was actually more minorities (Asian, Black, hispanic) there than the stereo typical white rednecks there. I figured they where either filming a commerical about how walmart is diverse or just all the rednecks now shop at the new walmart 5 miles away. I was in the store a total of 10 minutes, got what I could with the gift card and got the hell out of there, only complaint I'd have was F*cking idiots didn't know how to drive in the parking lot. When I got home I took 2 showers because felt so dirty going there!

[DanCa]

59. I dont blame demean people who shop or work at walmart.

I save it for the yahoos who have ruinned this country's economy so much that that's the only alternative for some people.

[sleipnir]

61. I do. Work and shop for the Devil, you belong to him.

There are always choices. You may choose poorly as many have done, or take the right path and avoid these stores all around.

No, those who work there, shop there contribute to the evil of this corporation and are as much of a problem as the corporate offices. Accepting shitty conditions because it's easy and available is an absurd position and reeks of laziness.

[DanCa]

63. What if though you take the money you save & spend it on liberal causes?

Just a thought. :D

[sleipnir]

65. Okay. I'll bite. The money you make is less than corp. profit on you.

They are still making money off of your labor. You might get some of it back, but you sure as hell aren't going to spend 100% of your paycheck on liberal causes. Even if you did, Walmart is still making money off of your labor even with your salary included. :)

[DanCa]

69. Hmmm good reasoning.

I agree with you about walmart being a monopoly monoplies are bad as a rule.
The problem is though when you live off of a small salary you have to reluctantly find the best deal. That's the nature of the wal mart beast. People living on disability pay and senior pensions have to do what they can to spread that check out. When your entire income is around five hundred bucks you gotta do what you can to survive. That's why I blame Dubya it all rolls from the top on down.

[GirlinContempt]

60. Kicked

and Recommended

[Omphaloskepsis]

64. Kick!!

I would recommend.. But, The OC is on the TV..

[SofaKingLiberal]

66. How would you know unless you've been there?

And if you have been there, then what does that say about you?
:evilgrin:

[Scooter24]

67. Women of Walmart- Playboy edition

They must be rare :)

[SofaKingLiberal]

68. hmmmm

[Scooter24]

70. lol..

they really did publish an issue titled that. Whether those girls were real walmart employees, I'm not so sure.


http://money.cnn.com/2003/11/12/news/companies/walmart_playboy/

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Playboy.com's controversial "Women of Wal-Mart" feature went live Wednesday, showcasing six of Wal-Mart's "sexiest" female employees who dared to shed their uniforms for the online pictorial.

Nesheim said the six models, including a photo lab technician, assistant manager and a department manager, were paid for their feature but would not disclose the amount.

[d_b]

71. hahahahahahaha.

I thought it was just in Anchorage.

[newportdadde]

72. They are also stupid and dressed like slobs.

My wife is pregnant and on bedrest so I have had to grocery shop recently, something I've been lucky enough to avoid for the most part the last few years.

So I go to Walmart, now I'm not dressed in a suit here but I have on a pair of jeans without holes, my hair was washed that morning and I had shaved in the last 24 hours. Too bad I couldn't say the same for my fellow shoppers.

If I wasn't trying to squeeze up and down the isles with Bertha in her white T-shirt with a couple of holes and no bra, accented by a lovely pair of faded pink sweatpants hiding the hyptonic rippling of fat as she walked then I was rubbing elbows with Bubba sporting a 3 day growth of beard a torn flannel t-shirt and a baseball cap that looked like it had been on safari.

Damn people clean yourself up just a little please, take SOME PRIDE in yourself when your going out in public, I'm not asking for a 1000 buck suit for fucks sake but at least make it appear as though you have had a relationship with a bar of soap recently.

Walmart has a way of making this average Joe feel like an adonis.

Latter in the week I went to Price Chopper and I felt like I was walking into the Alexandria library, cashiers could actually talk and were helpful. One lady forgot something and a girl there ran like a bat of hell to get the item for her(thats not happening at Wally World. I even ran into a few ladies in their early 30s I wouldn't have kicked out of bed.

Walmart land of ugly, fat, zombie slobs.

[DrDan]

73. I thought I had stumbled into Freeper-Land when I read this

good heavens - can't you come up with something reasonable to discuss - this is ridiculous
