The Onion takes on Wal-Mart


The cruelly funny online humor magazine The Onion aims its big guns at that little northwest Arkansas mom-and-pop known as Wal-Mart.

In this article called "Wal-Mart Cuts Over 13,000 Of What It Calls Jobs" the retailer comes under bitter attack.

I've decided not to quote from the story here. You can read at your own risk. I'll warn you: it contains the "F" word and humor of an adult nature. Some may find it totally unfunny.

I just think it's worth a mention that one of our state's largest corporate citizens is coming under such a savage attack. Despite years of trying to improve their image and "branding," it's clear Wal-Mart still has an image problem in certain urban hipster circles.
