WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Trippi Multimedia has joined WakeUpWalMart.com in launching a national advertising and multimedia campaign about "the movie and the memo Wal-Mart does not want you to see."
Trippi Multimedia has produced a 30 second TV ad, titled "High Cost," to be shown in numerous cities beginning Monday, Oct. 31. It is a preview of the Robert Greenwald documentary "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price." The ad will air in New York City, the Washington, D.C. metro area, Los Angeles and Little Rock, Ark.
The text of the ad is as follows:
Announcer: The movie Wal-Mart doesn't want you to see.
Woman Clergy Member: "This is much bigger than David and Goliath."
Announcer: When you know the truth.
Small business owner: "I've seen a lot of small communities crucified."
Announcer: About what Wal-Mart is doing to America.
Robert Greenwald, film producer: "From health care to forced overtime to gender discrimination to environmental destruction."
Announcer: Will America still be shopping at Wal-Mart?
Announcer: Find the movie and the truth at WakeUpWalMart.com.
"This film will open America's eyes to the destructive consequences of Wal-Mart's bad business practices. I am happy to be a part of this nationwide movement," said Joe Trippi, head of Trippi Multimedia.
Interested parties can view the ad at http://www.JoeTrippi.com.
Can I buy the movie at Walmarts?
The only thing bad I see about Wal-Mart is the financing of the Chinese military machine thanks to the Clinton administration's granting of Most Favored Nation trade status. Last year, China consumed 50% of the world's steel production and 25% of the world's concrete production. They didn't get that money from selling rice and seaweed. Thanks, Bill.
I am glad I am not part of that sorry lot that has to attack every success.
From the looks of his resume, Trippi isn't much of a success.
Correction: The only thing bad I see about Wal-Mart damn near every US merchant, is the financing of the Chinese military machine thanks to the Clinton administration's granting of Most Favored Nation trade status...
Dude, what you claim is bravo sierra...
Kneejerk reaction ping.
If unions are for something, it must be bad for productivity, so I am against it.
But Walmart is. That is why these losers must take it down.
Not only is it a movie Walmart doesn't want to see, it's one I don't want to see.
L-O-S-E-R!
A 5 time loser!
Wal-Mart's purchases from China make up only about 2.4% of China's total exports. I guess we just define huge differently. Purchases from China made up only about 8% of Wal-Mart's total purchases last year. Wal-Mart purchased $150 billion from American suppliers last year which comprised about 68% of their total purchases.
Wal-Mart gets attacked by losers like Trippi not because they are successful but simply because they exist.
LOL. Yes, it is in the Michael Moore attire, accessories, and grooming aids dept.
And they are non union. That's the rub with the left.
Wal-Mart gets attacked by Unions and Costco. Unions do a tremendous amount of damage to our world. The key points against unions are:
1) Free speech restrictions.
2) Limited production.
3) Limited freedom to work, or give. (Teachers unions restrict teacher's abilities to coach for instance.)
4) Political interference.
5) Forced membership dues.
6) Warring unions can drive businesses into bankruptcy (USAirways, Delta).
7) They encourage black-market labor (illegal immigrants)
8) They are elitist and set the agenda. (You can't become a teacher unless you allow yourself to be indoctrinated into liberal think-NY).
9) Union members answer to two bosses - their shop steward and their boss.
10) Unions encourage violence against non-union workers.
11) Unions work hand-in-hand with mafia type groups.
And if Costco (a media darling) can't win by fair, it will win by foul.
Where do you buy your sneakers? Where were they made?
Where do you buy your sweatshirts and T-shirts? Where were they made?
What do you buy that Walmart does not sell, and where is it made?
I told you not to take the brown acid, man!
Good list. In addition the are of Communist derivation and follow Communist style and doctrine. Who gets all their money? The Democrat/Communist Party.
Add Eastern Airlines to your list and they are now trying to put Boeing out of business. The biggest culprit? The machinists union.
