I was wondering whatever happened to that. Oh well, the world is probably better off with you covered-up anyway ;).

Well there are legitimate beefs you can make about Wal-Mart, like that disgusting cheese they use for nachos that stinks up the whole quadrant by the snackbar (which is usually by the entrance, cruel really). The pet department always seems to be run by total stoners that must sleep behind the piles of dogfood, can never get somebody to get a fish for you. The commercials are insipid, and I hate how they've designed their checkout section, and the aisles are too narow. But really I see the exact same merch (when there's product category overlap) in Wal-Mart as Sears, Target, JcPenny's and BestBuy so this whole China slave labor thing is seriously over blown.

Which is why I asked High Road what items WalMart has that are made in China that other stores don't have. After one of the last bash WalMart threads I took a quick walk through the store the next time I was there. Since most of the stuff they sell is in every other store, I really couldn't figure out what they were referring to. About the only items I could imagine would be different from store to store would be clothing. So I did a fast check of the tags of selected clothes racks and I didn't find one piece of clothing from the far east. I'm not saying there aren't any, but it isn't as bad a these WalMart haters say it is.

BTW, does anybody know if it is possible to have a PC (or Mac, for that matter) that doesn't have parts from China in them?
