Men arrested for showing porn on display TV sets at Wal-Mart

Two men -- one a store employee -- removed a promotional DVD from a DVD player built into a display and replaced it with porn, which was connected to six TV sets. Customers saw the X-rated offering while they shopped. (Fort Smith, Ark. Times Record)

Do people who shop at Wal-Mart know what sex is?

[hodge]

Sure, it involves animals.

[oldewave]

or relatives.

[LimeGreenLizard]

Or toddler slappers.

"Yes, Torgo. Us Wal-Mart shoppers know what sex is!" *biting down on Marlboro butt and re-positioning baby on other spandex covered hip*
"Where do you think them Babies come from?" *Shouting* "Cletis! Put that antifreeze in the cart next to the 150 pound bag-a-dog-chow, and stop chasing your sister with that dental floss! Where the hell are the twins? And see if you can find your other sister. She should be in the diaper aisle..."

or that thing that happens while you're passed out that gets you another dependent 9 months (give or take) later.

My low opinion of Wal-Mart and its shoppers notwithstanding, 20yo boys can be such incredible dolts. Oh, you *shocked* everyone with naked people having sex - how predictable, stereotypical, and completely unoriginal.

I guess the merry pranksters were surprised when they were like, arrested and stuff.

tempest in a teapot

Would anyone have complained if the men had put in a tape of televangelists weeping for contributions?
I can't stand either, but prefer the porn.

[Marijo Woods]

I agree with thomas.

[Marijo Woods]

oh and another thing hey graphic violence is "ok",but watch your speech,and your "dirty bits" This coming from the worlds most violent country,not engaged in a civil war.

[WhyMe]

Oh yeah, the US is way more violent than...hmm let's pull the stats on murders per capita per county.

Is the US number 1? No.

In the top five? Nope.

Surely in the top ten! No. The US does not even crack the top twenty. The Seychelles outrank it.

For the actual ranking see:

Keep in mind all the countries that ranked above the US on murders per capita are war torn countries with decades of fighting within its borders or third world countries. The US is ranked number 1 as a developed country. When we started to feel superior to the likes of Columbia, Congo, Zambia, and etc, that is a sad day indeed.

[Lo in ND]

I wonder how long it actually played before someone told the manager?
I am sory, I know it would offend alot of people, but I just think this is sooo funny - especially at walmart!

[nellagain]

slappy,
keep in mind that the US has *not* had decades long civil strife that significantly disrupted the lives of its citzens. There is a reason for this.

[Wal-Mart Security]

ahhh, they were good kids having a bit of fun, then some uppity Starbucks drinking, Volvo driving, Abercrombie wearing, Obama Change voting yuppie went and complained to the manager. I had to ACTUALLY leave right in the middle of The Doctors to go and detain these two misunderstood youth. It wasn't like they were doing anything wrong, just enjoying some good clean fun.

People nowadays.....

Hold on, wait a second .. the thing at the end of the story. Let me get this straight - the Wal-Mart store turned surveillance video over to law enforcement (which usually makes sense), which, in turn, turned the video over to a TV station to broadcast so that viewers might help identify *the Wal-Mart employee*!

Then the article plugs and brags about the CrimeStoppers program. Well, I suppose it did work.

From the tinyurl website;
DEFINITION: Total recorded intentional homicides, completed. Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence.
