Of course not. Dragging their feet taking them off shelves, so they don't get stuck with them? Probably. Plotting to take over the world? Of course not.

Well, I should clarify that a bit... the original designer knew, since there is an obvious resemblance, but no one at Wal-Mart. Anyways, someone (Bent Corner) noticed it and made it public. Wal-Mart apologized and is doing damage control by removing the shirts and reassuring the blogging world it is being taken care of. Sorta like putting out a small flame before it explodes (perhaps sensationalized into the mainstream media where it could hurt the company a lot more). It doesn't mean they have even a slight affiliation with "Nazi's" or anything similar. It was an honest mistake. Even large corporations make those yunno. By the way, I was in two Wal-Mart's locally this weekend, both did NOT have the shirts... so it may be in the works elsewhere. All the stuff about Wal-Mart being evil and plotting to take over the world is silly. Isn't there a better cause in the world?

It doesn’t mean they have even a slight affiliation with “Nazi’s” or anything similar. It was an honest mistake. Even large corporations make those yunno.

By the way, I was in two Wal-Mart’s locally this weekend, both did NOT have the shirts… so it may be in the works elsewhere.

People claim to be offended by the things that they do. but their power is your money that you willingly give them. What incentive does Wal-Mart have to change anything at all, especially the promotion of such open and blatant hate-mongering, if people continue to give them their busniness? Stop supporting Wal-Mart with your money, and then they will get the point that they need to change, this and all their other practices of biggotry, racism and greed at the cost of all those without a strong voice.
