    They are wrong about that but are oblivious about anything but their own little world.
    While this comes off as a little strong, I'm willing to agree entirely.

    How about instead of making fun of people, you go do something productive like help feed the homeless or clean up litter, or anything that would actually help society rather then lower it
    Its Ironic how you point out Classism which is an act of judgment, then proceed to stand upon your high alter and judge him. Hope you dont get a nose bleed way up there.

    It's people like this that give America a bad name. Shame they get shown all over the internet and on American TV shows.

    If I'm bigoted against bigots, does that make me a bigot?

    I shop at Walmart every week since it is the only grocery store in my town and all the stereotypes are exactly correct. I make sure I have on real human clothes, you know like khakis, and man do you ever feel classy. If you ever want to see a 400lb women's ass hanging out the bottom of her short shorts, Walmart is the place to go. Its not even about being poor anymore to shop there. In most parts of the country Walmart has devoured every other business so you have to shop there regardless of net worth, sense of style, IQ level, etc. My town has zero bookstores, zero electronic stores, zero pet stores, one auto parts store, one hardware store, zero grocery stores (two in the next town over but Korger is more expensive and the other one makes Walmart look like an upscale grocer), you literally have to shop at Walmart or drive 30-45 minutes to buy most things.

    yes. yes it does. Bigotry is bigotry no matter how self righteous.

    OT: I fail to see how this is classism. Coming from a low income family I never once wore the stupid, disgusting and utterly outrageous things some of these people wear. Household income/class has nothing to do with the sheer stupidity that these people get made fun for.
    Cheese. Its amazing. Until your feet smell like it.

    My parents and I go to Target because of what the OP described about WallMart.
    It isn't how people dress, but it's because of the crowd that goes to WallMart.
    I'm sure there are lots of nice people, but the Wallmart in my city tends to attract allot of criminals,
    shady people, and people that cough all over in the produce section while stabbing their dirty fingernails into the vegetables then walking off.

    Right, so, it's the 1st of the month.

The sights are monstrous. Multiply that by the fact that it's a Saturday, where most places are already busy, and a long weekend, it's further compounded.

    So what you're saying is: since Walmart is your only option, if it wasn't there, these people would be taking their business to "normal" stores instead? Strange.

    Obi Wan Kenobi's quote is often misheard: "That's no moon...it's a Wal-Mart shopper!"

    No I just think there is a concentration of stupidity inside Walmart in more areas because it is literally the only option. If there were more options the stupid would be spread out and less noticeable.

    :O where in Texas are you at? Or near by if you don't want to say.

    And to stay on OT, I don't think there's anything wrong with seeing how other people dress. It can be pretty interesting sometimes ^.^

    This video is so fucking stupid, they go out of there way to find these people, go to walmart any given day and you might find 1 or 2 of these people, the other 98 will be normal looking. If it was a video about normal people going to walmart no one would watch it, do you really thing that's the only type of people that shop there?

    HAHAHAHA THOSE POOR PEOPLE! AM I RIGHT?

    How about you stop making fun of people less fortunate than you and do something to help. Don't ask the government to take taxes from other people to help. Have some decency and give what you can give from your own pocket, or volunteer if you can't. If a poor college student like me can regularly donate blood, feed people, and give mine I'm sure you can too. Watch this episode of Bullshit. It's really good. They have an episode on gun control too for those of you that are interested.
    In the fell clutch of circumstance
    I have not winced nor cried aloud.
    Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

    Making fun of the hideous looking people at Walmart and doing charity work aren't mutually exclusive activities. This "stop making fun of people and go do charity work!" thing that people keep using in this thread is bizarre.
