Yet another good thing I've found about being "down island". No Wal-mart, Kmart is the only game in town here. And they're way nicer than the "ghetto" one by my house back home.

The ones in the Keys were a bit unique, kinda like the old Tempo stores from back in the 1960s.

Wal-Mart has turned aside a massive letter-writing campaign by the American Family Association. urging the retailer to refuse to stock Brokeback Mountain, being distributed by Universal Home Entertainment. The group, which has successfully campaigned against what it considers to be broadcast indecency launched the campaign last week after ads for the film began being displayed prominently in the retailer's 3,900 stores. In an interview with today's (Tuesday) Los Angeles Times, the AFA's Randy Sharp, accused Wal-Mart of helping to push the "gay agenda" by "trying to help normalize homosexuality in society." He added, "But how many copies are they going to have to sell to [recoup] the losses of customers who they've offended and will no longer shop at Wal-Mart?" But a Wal-Mart spokeswoman replied, ""The fact that we are offering the movie is not an endorsement of the content of the movie or any specific belief. ...We simply offer the latest titles that consumers want."
I'm actually suprised Wal-Mart is gonna sell it. The stopped selling Maxim for it's "inappropriate" content. They are really fanatically religious as far as I'm concerned.
One of these days, I'm gonna go in there, buy condoms then walk around yelling that I'm having pre-marital sex with the condoms I bought at Wal-Mart. Just for fun.
