Walmart sparked outrage on social media Monday after they featured plus-size Halloween costumes on their website under the "fat girl costumes" category. This is apparently what people were looking at this morning when they typed "fat" into the store's search engine:

After a whirlwind of controversy, relentless Twitter users blasted Wally World because they used the word "fat" rather than plus-size before their "sexy maid" and "sexy flapper" holiday costumes...

Actually, I think Walmart was guilty of stupidity.

Why on earth would they use offensive language to try to sell to plus-size women and or girls?

Why would Wal-Mart want to offend their primary customer base?

More of the Political Correctness that is killing America and the ability to speak. That BS is a cancer that will increase until we are really 1984.

QUEEN
“Fat Bottomed Girls”

Oh you gonna take me home tonight
Oh down beside that red fire light
Oh you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round

Hey I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew love before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman, you made a bad boy out of me

Hey hey!

I’ve been singing with my band
Across the water, across the land
I’ve seen every blue eyed floozy on the way (hey)
But their beauty and their style
Went kind of smooth after a while
Take me to them naughty ladies every time

C’mon!

Oh, won’t you take me home tonight?
Oh, down beside your red fire light
Oh, and you give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round

Hey, listen here
Now I got mortgages and homes
And I got stiffness in the bones
Ain’t no beauty queens in this locality (I tell you)
Oh, but I still get my pleasure
Still get my greatest treasure
Heap big woman you done made a big man of me (now get this)

Oh (I know), you gonna take me home tonight (please)
Oh, down beside that red fire light
Oh, you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round

Get on your bikes and ride

Ooh, yeah, oh, yeah, them fat bottomed girls
Fat bottomed girls, yeah, yeah, yeah,
All right
Ride ‘em cowboy
Fat bottomed girls
Yes, yes, right.

Learn your lesson, Walmart, and learn it well.

The union organizers out there are watching your EVERY STEP, trying to find ANY reason to cause you grief or take you down a peg.

You need to double, triple, quadruple-check EVERYTHING before you do it!

Since when is it okay to insult your customers?

This isn’t about being PC, it’s about basic politeness.

Any of those costumes would be better than what Wal-Mart Ladies* usually wear.

A Wal-Mart Lady is required to tip the scales at 265+, wear a Size Small Spandex (stretch denim optional) outfit, either ripped or showing buttcrack, in a violent High-Viz color, be pushing a cart full of chips, or riding in an electric shopping cart loaded with candy.

Good grief, that’s not fat!!!

Gee, when you consider that Walmart’s “bread and butter” shoppers are the super size, motorized cart driving, super obese, wearing stretch pants, hair slicked back crowd, you’d think there would be a Halloween section for them!!!

In an unemployment line far, far, away, stands a smirking IT professional, whose last act before being fired for porn was to rename a Halloween costume category on his former employer’s website ;)

I was supposed to be a pirate but everyone said I looled just like the other hobo’s. So I said, I’m a hobo.

That is a fan picture of NJ Governor Chris (Krispy Kreme) Christie, taken at a hi-klass Jersey Shore Resort.
