Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said yesterday that it made a "terrible" mistake in approving a recent newspaper advertisement that equated a proposed Arizona zoning ordinance with Nazi book-burning.

"It's not the imagery itself. It trivializes the Nazis and what they did. And to try to attach that imagery to a municipal election goes beyond distasteful," said Bill Straus, Arizona regional director for the ADL.

Who is shocked that Wal-Mart would use Nazi images?????????

1. That is not all they need to apologize about...

and really, closing up their stores, and reviving the local economies that they helped destroy, is the only worthwhile apology they can make.

2. They are not sorry they did it - just sorry they got caught.

3. There's nothing to apologize for from what I read.

They're using an image of an oppressive government to protest what they consider to be opressive governmental decisions.

Yeah, I know...Wal-Mart is evil, blah, blah, blah.

I still see this as an issue of people being hypersensitive.


(on edit)

Wal-Mart might not "play nice", but they operate within the law (I'm talking about their business model, not their violations) and, most importantly, give people what they want - one stop shopping for cheap stuff. It's OUR fault for not asking for something different, not their fault for providing it.
