About a week ago, someone on MetaFilter posted a link to Wal-Mart People, the photo blog that mocks people who, wittingly or not, draw too much attention to themselves while shopping at Wal-Mart. These eccentrics or “walcreatures” have the nerve to not hide themselves despite lacking the bodies, hairstyles and clothing that the editors find appropriate. (They lack “class” – or “good” money.)
The link on MetaFilter was flagged as offensive and summarily deleted. For the last three days, it’s been one of the hot trending items in Google search. Apparently, we all can’t get enough of ourselves.
I would love to see what the voting profile is for everyone who has passed the web site on, approvingly, to a friend – “freakshow!” I’d bet $50 it’s an even split between Democrats and Republicans.
