Their new commercials have nothing to do with merchandise or sales. They're all about damage control. Thirty seconds of anonymous people saying how awesome their employer is, before they zoom out and admit that they're talking about Walmart. Really, Walmart "matches my charitable giving?" Your $7.50/hr paycheck has lots of extra cash for the soup kitchen in which you have to eat half your meals?
Color me unimpressed.
