Wal-Mart Really Does Carry Everything

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Wed Jan 02, 2008 12:50 pm

A ten-year-old girl got quite an unpleasant surprise when she started using the brand-new MP3 player she got for Christmas--it was filled with porn and songs about drugs. Dad is definitely NOT a satisfied customer!

The article notes that the player was one that had been returned and should not have been sold as new (or at all, if I read the article correctly).

Another reason why I am happy to shop at Target.

Holiday stuff was marked down to 75% off at Target today. I found some "E" handkerchiefs, gift boxes and $.24 gift bags. They still had a lot of stockings and cards left, but I didn't need any of these items.
