War*Mart
It is like watching war games (click on the image to watch)
A friend of mine thinks it is silly of me that I stopped shopping at WalMart about 12 years ago. But, when I admitted I had been in a WalMart several times since deciding to never step foot in a WalMart again, he found my reasoning "hilarious" but thought my intentions were sketchy. You may not find this hilarious at all, but here is the explanation, anyway:
One summer, while traveling across the States, I had to stop to get gas and use a restroom. I got the gas. However, the restroom was out of order. I had to find a restroom soon, but I was in a tiny town with few options. Then I noticed the local WalMart and remembered they have public restrooms. I concluded at that moment that it was okay to go in one as long as I wasn't buying anything. Then decided from that point on that whenever I traveled across the States (I do this a lot) it would be okay for me to frequent WalMart stores as long as the only reason I went in was to drop a nasty, stinky BM.
My friend thinks I should start a movement (ha). He thinks people all over America should do it.
Now, of course, like so many others, you have a little less respect for me, eh? Too bad. Stand in line.

We already knew that Walmart was a disease, now we have a visual representation of it. It's weird how ominous those flickering dots are, especially as they begin to speed up. Several of the bloggers I've seen blog about this have pointed out that the chart almost looks like the spread of cancer. To borrow the analogy even further, I wonder if we've passed the point of no return with Walmart and the cancer has become terminal.
