From Snopes

Less than careful readers might miss that the 5% donation applies only to sales made through the Metro DC GLBT web site — that is, purchases made at Wal-Mart stores or through Wal-Mart.com are not part of the "5% donation" scheme.

"Less than careful readers..."

Even careful readers are going to have trouble picking that up from the AFA home page, which runs a rather deceptive headline claiming:

"Wal-Mart Contributes 5% of Online Sales to Homosexual group.

Sign the Pledge to not shop at Wal-mart on Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving."

Hmmm... Methinks that AFA is more concerned about the donations that this hoopla will bring the AFA, rather than the donations it will bring the "homosexual group" involved.

Thank you!! People with even a passing knowledge of the retail industry could figure out that even WALMART cannot afford to donate 5% of all receipts to a group.

Get a grip folks.
