Wal-Mart hates black people? WTF?

Wal-Mart stirred outrage when its Web site suggested that shoppers who wanted to buy a "Planet of the Apes" DVD would be interested in biopics of famous black Americans like Martin Luther King Jr.

The giant retailer blamed a computer glitch for the "offensive" recommendations - and said it was overhauling its online operations until a fix could be made.

Consumers who clicked on the DVD of the original TV series - a cult classic in which the Earth is ruled by gorillas - were routed to four movies about Martin Luther King, actress Dorothy Dandridge, boxer Jack Johnson and singer Tina Turner.

"It's outrageous. I've never heard of anything like that," the Rev. Al Sharpton said when he was told of the pairings.

As evidence that the "Planet of the Apes" recommendations were not intended as a slur, Wal-Mart pointed out that the film "Home Alone" yielded the same suggestions. The company planned to remove the questionable combos from its Web site last night and suspend its entire "cross-selling" program until the snafu is corrected.

Hmmm... insulting and inadvertently derogatory, yet twistedly humorous. Thanks Wal-Mart for once again ‘fu*king-up big-time.’ Raise your hand if you hate Wal-Mart. Article here.
