Walmart sucks. I guess you could call it activism, I call it responding to a customer complaint. It would be more activist for people to simply stop shopping at Walmart. It's all just money and image. Small victory for censorship? At least the panties didn't have lead paint in them like some toys we saw earlier this year...and with the low prices Walmart offers, is it a surprise their products are junk? The reason they had panties like this in the first place is because someone would buy them...probably with their credit card. But now everyone will pretend they were so offended by the idea that Santa Claus would buy them lingerie. That's if they believe in Santa in the first place...
"The reason they had panties like this in the first place is because someone would buy them..." Yes, that is sad but true. And someone (many people, I wager) would buy them for their child, thinking it's cute. Yeah, adorable.
