Oh my. A former Wal-Mart cashier in Almont Township, Mich., claims he was fired for joking on his MySpace page that the average IQ would increase if a bomb were dropped on the company's stores.
"I told them that this was crazy," the employee told The Flint Journal. "It's not like I have a fighter jet in my backyard to drop a bomb with. Then they escorted me out to the parking lot."
You just can't make these kind of jokes anymore. Plus dropping a bomb on Wal-Mart would only serve to further slash the prices. I like his justification too. Sounds like the only thing stopping him was the lack of a fighter jet in his backyard. It's okay, you can borrow mine.
This does bring up an common argument I've heard that people who shop at Wal-Mart are somehow stupid or "white trash." Which confuses me? How are people who shop at the place with bargains stupid but people who shell out $600 bucks for a Gucci person considered "high-class."
