Silly, silly Walmart. I can understand it's 'moral' image as their own choice, but since they're the only supermarket in many places in America, it becomes a frightening control of access to information.

Edit: We have a store like that in the UK, the Newsagents W.H.Smiths. Large, almost city-centre monopolistic, that doesn't sell certain DVD's and censors CD's. Me and my friends have boycotted them, for little obvious benefit.

I managed to find some photos of the "Women of Starbucks" shoot, and they're not wearing Starbucks uniforms, but it's close:

Yes, Playboy does airbrush all of their girls to perfection. Perfect 10 is much better because they don't airbrush anything and what you see is what you get though you won't get Playboy's sometimes witty articles.

Still, there's no point to pay for porn since it's free over the internet.

Las Vegas isn't a real city. I am talking more places like Philly, NY, Chicago, Washington, Boston.

WalMart is one of the most anti-union companies around. If union literature is noticed in a store they immediately fly out a union busting expert. The only time WalMart workers successfully unionized (they were some workers in the meat division of one of those superstores) the division that got unionized was immediately shut down. From what I'd heard, WalMart would rather shut down a store then put up with a union.

It's also in the "Protestant Couple" (one of my favourite parts, incidentally) bit immediately following the "Every Sperm Is Sacred" song.

I'm torn. Number one, Wal-Mart is a good old Arkansas Product.

On the other hand, it is an evil machine that destroys everything in its path.

Hmm...

I seem to recall them doing this with K-Mart and 7-11 years ago, for much the same reason (removal and/or hiding of the magazine).

There is nothing original about this.

I've got a better one for you. The man in charge of shipping cadavers at from the University of Arizona medical lab is named Dr. Dommer. My dad was working on some carpal tunnel research for ASU and had to work with this guy. My mom got a call at home one day that went "Hello this is Dr. Dommer and I'm calling about cadavers."
