PEOPLE OF WALMART

I saw this link on Twitter, and am totally addicted to the site now!  Here is a screenshot of the site..

Everyday they post new pictures of weird people they see at the Wal Mart.. It is really really funny to the 9th power!  One thing that cracks me up too is the LOVE and HATE section..

Here is a LOVE one..

 I would like to first of all stand up and applaud you. Let’s face it we’ve all been the one in Wal-Mart who has seen someone outrageously dressed,

under dressed or overly dressed. and your response can only be “What tha!”

The only thing I hate about the site is that I didn’t think of it first!

And here is a HATE one..

It is unfortunate that in an attempt to appear dignified and

respectable, you (the creators of this website) have simply showed the

rest of us how it takes absolutely no education or awareness of the

world around you to deem yourselves worthy of classifying what is and

isn’t a “handicap”. While I understand that your attempts at “satire” (I

think you should refer yourselves to a dictionary for a better

understanding of this word before using it in describing this site,

which certainly is not satirical in nature) involve observing how people

intentionally choose to live such “trashy” lifestyles, your presumptions

about the populations for which you mock couldn’t be farther from truth.

The class hierarchy in America is not a secret and it is also very well

documented and researched that the lower classes of our country are not

only the subject of oppression, but also that the ability for the

average person to actually rise from one socio-economic standing to one

above that of their current status is extremely hard in the system that

America uses to determine success. Because of this, the people you so

choose to mock were most likely born into a low socio-economic status

and never really had the opportunity to live a lifestyle outside of

that. Poor nutrition (causing the obesity epidemic we have in our

country, which you get plenty of laughs out of), lack of steady income

(which would likely explain half of the attire and cars on this website)

and lack of access to healthcare (also contributing to the condition of

these you love to exploit) are all plagues upon our country. It is

unfortunate that, rather than actually promote programs and ideas to

help lessen the gap in America’s wealth, you choose to use your

influence on the World Wide Web to continue harmful stereotypes of lower

classes and perpetuate the stigma against them that continues to hold

them back. Of course, had any of you ever attended a College of any reputation you

would have certainly attended a Sociology class that would have covered

this in the first quarter. However, your lack of respect for the lower

class in our country also suggests you were brought up in a fairly

middle-class to upper-class environment. The fact that you even take the

time to update this site also suggests you are of a younger generation.

So congratulations: you were born into one of the most privileged and

select social classes in the world, and yet having failed to attain an

education of any merit you waste your time pointing out the inadequacies

of those who have not had the same privileges as you in their lives. The

real shame does not lie in the people for which you make fun of, but in

you for your inability to make any sort of real contribution to the

greater good of the people around you.

I'm sure that guy is a very good person too : ) I love to use big words to impress myself and make others think I'm a tool as well!

Anyways, you either love or hate the site, I personally LOVE IT!  Go check it out.. You can find it right here.. PEOPLE OF WALMART

PEACE!
