A Catholic advocacy group has launched a national boycott against Wal-Mart, claiming the world's No. 1 retailer has in effect "banned" Christmas, while promoting other seasonal holidays such as Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.
But Wal-Mart tells WorldNetDaily it has "absolutely not" banned Christmas, but is just "trying to serve all our customers for the holiday season."

The methodology has gotten quite sophisticated. I got myself invited into one of the companies and watched how they operate. They identify the "trend makers" in a group and get them talking about it or the same person might talk to themselves via different names.
Saw a troll do that here on FR.
He was rather amusing.
He keeps coming back as well.
*sigh*
The really sick part is that they target teen sites.
Well, in Western Civilization for the past 1700 or so years we had this little "holiday" called "Christmas." In the Catholic and Western European traditions, Christmas has always fallen on December 25. Every year. On that day, gifts are exchanged, etc.
Now, on that same date (what a coincidence), a general non-offensive sort of "holiday" takes place in which, (again, by astonishing coincidence) people exchange gifts, etc.
I wonder if the new holiday that is celebrated on December 25 has a name, or is it just called "the holiday."
When Marketing undermines the fabric of the country, well..
Maybe its *you* who needs to get a CLUE, Genius.
"When Marketing undermines the fabric of the country, well.."

Hyperbole: It's not just for breakfast anymore!
Anyone have the full boycott list of all the stores that wont say Merry Christmas?
