I’m looking at revamping the Wal Mart page on my gripes section. Why? Well, because it seems to me that I am missing some points about the double standards that exist there. All I really touched on is that they won’t sell music but they do sell a whole lot of other objectionable things. Well I’ve now seen where they had and then pulled two books off their shelves. One was America the Book from The Daily Show people from Comedy Central. The other one was called When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? from George Carlin. Apparently they decided that they didn’t fit into the feel of the store, unlike all of those slutty romance novels and Cosmo’s at the checkouts. I also looked there last night to see if they had a new videogame for my PC called Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude. They of course didn’t have it, not because it had an M for a rating, but because it had and M for a rating in relation to sexual innuendo. Hell, if it had an M rating because the objective was to kill someone then it would have been just fine. Killing is ok, but fucking is no good by them. In an unrelated note to all of this mumbo jumbo I see the lot clearing is underway for the new super center Wal Mart that is being built in my town. On the corner of the lot there is a big sign that reads: Future home of Wal Mart Super Center. I so badly want to go to the old store and put a big sign up that reads: Future Home of big ass empty building and lot. Yeah, I don’t see it happening either… the sign that is, not the empty abandoned building.
You know, I have been thinking about how lucky the damn kids of today are. If you little shits are involved in a long car ride all you have to do is turn on your DVD player that is in the back seat of most of those shitty mini vans that your parents drive. That or you can plug in your favorite console game in and play that all the way to Grandma’s house. Where was that shit when I was a kid? I never got any of that kind of stuff; in fact it wasn’t even invented then. Do you know what I had for visual entertainment when I was a kid? The View Master. Now that was an awesome little gadget. They would take these stories that you grew up with and condense them down to seven pictures; pictures that I thought were awesomely done in 3D, especially for the time period that they came out in. Of course as a child before the View Master came out with the special lighted attachment, you could only use it when it was sunny out. Of course there were those times when you were being tailgated by the cars behind you and you got to use your VM for a short time. It’d be like, dad, speed up so this guy doesn’t pass us; I’m only on reel 2 of the Flintstones. Those were the days.
