If it keeps these people at home and out of the public view, I'm all for it.

Where will we get our fix for People of Walmart?

If you're too fat for even the power chair carts at Walmart, you might be a redneck.

Your igorant slur on "Walmart people" always covers some pretty smart and wealthy people. I'm guessing you are one of the below average people.

I think the GP was referring to a very specific people of walmart.

Yeah :'( I am starting to wonder whether I'll find one I want to be with before I'm 60

Stop despairing and get out there and date. Even Geeks can find true love. With 6.7 billion people on this rock there is literally somebody for everybody. Do you doubt what I say? Head over to your local Wal-Mart sometime and observe how many of less than desirable natives are holding hands or wearing wedding bands. You are going to lay down and accept a world wherein those people get to reproduce and you don't? Rest assured there are plenty of geek chicks on this planet. Do you think they would rather wind up with one of those Wally World men or a fellow geek like yourself?

If Google fights back too much firms will begin to use and promote other advertisers, like Bing. This is a typical case where the end user is not the customer. The customer is the firms that pay Google to advertiser.

Google isn't the advertiser. That's what the pages it lists are. Its more like a shopping mall. Google is trying to protect the reputation of its location by attracting Neiman Marcus and Saks 5th Avenue. JC Penney's can move to the cheap mall across town with Wal Mart and its customers.

It is called giving the people what they want. If you want to see the people who want this type of journalism just go here.

When you put it like that, I think I'll pass on using a breathalyser that's open to Walmart customers...

Lemme guess. I'm modded "flamebait" because some fatass didn't like being called a lardass, right?

It's reality. The people using the walkway are going to be these people. Five feet may not even be wide enough in some cases.

We like to sneak up on such creatures and photograph them in their natural habitat; however, if there ever were a 'People of Tesco' page it would have enough Chavs to Walmart's fugly folk a run for their money.

That People of Walmart site can't be that expensive.

whereas release of the data can pretty much only increase serious scrutiny

How do you figure? How precisely does giving the People of Walmart access to scientific data increase scrutiny? The one thing I find most amazing about Climategate is this apparent perception that the climate change issue is a new one. Like it hasn't been thoroughly researched over the last 40ish years by scientists in many disparate disciplines. As the parent suggests, the deniers have access to the published papers, and they still fail to "believe" in climate change. How is having raw statistical data going to change that? And, frankly, if they're so concerned about the quality of the data couldn't they....hmmmm, I dunno...collect their own? Why do the actual scientists have to do the work so deniers can just tear it down?

You bring up a lot of valid points, so don't get me wrong... but what is it about morbidly obese people that sends the Internet into a blind rage? As opposed to, say, people with socially-obnoxious cellphone behaviors, like texting while driving?

At least the former self-destructive behavior provides some Web-based entertainment.

I've seen People of Wallmart. I know they can be wrong. Very, very wrong....

Yes, they can. And I have proof!

that's the acid test. until then, i refuse to believe it exists.

If WalMart starts selling them, that's it. I will never. fly. again. Have you seen the people who shop at Walmart?

And don't get me started on the people who own and run it.

This insider information is my gift to you. Use it with care.

I take it that you've never visited http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/. :)

Only if we have a flight ban on people like this: http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

I saw you the other day!

How about one that worked on fats cells?

It doesn't need to be 100% effective, but you could advertise it as the latest 'fat busting' solution.

I guess you'd first have to solve the obese fat-bomber terrorist problem. Wouldn't want the local Wal-mart to get flattened because someone double up a dose to get thin for the weekend.

I'll pay the extra $0.05 to at Amazon and avoid the people of walmart.

Funny thing about China right now, is that in order to run a business in China, you must have a Chinse partner working with you. To which, the Chinese have big plans for foreigners looking for cheap labor (NSFW website! though story is very important!)

The question now is, do we still want to manufacture in china, if the Chinese government wants to force foreign companies (i.e. Motorola, Nokia, Sony, etc.) to hand over their Intellectual Property to the Chinese government?

Personally, I don't see why we should outsource goods to China when we can manufacture them here in the United States or at very least Mexico.

The chinese could very well install these programs on goods exported from China or posted in the App Store and Android Market.

Now would be a good time to bring manufacturing back to America especially with the 10.2% unemployment rate and China's intentions.

Of course, Apple won't do that. Apple would rather continue to manufacture a device that has be under lock and key so badly, people have died because someone lost the phone or some other moral implications. (Imagine if HTC or Motorola had this problem, their would be one hell of a controversy!)

But as long as Apple continues to appease the Chinese with a steady revenue from a device that despite being so popular is really becoming a social control, the status quo will prevail...more so since they sell iPhones at places like Walmart.

Seems like an appropriate place to put this:
http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

I only recently discovered this site. I'm sure it gets old fast, but it's definitely pretty entertaining for a little while.

(Actually, now that I think about it, I probably found out about it because of someone else posting it here.)

Please. If you don't want people to see you acting like a jackass in public, then don't act like a jackass in public. There are already plenty of sites devoted to ridiculing people who don't understand this simple rule.
