Disgruntled Employee: Wal-Mart Apologizes For Labeling Plus-Size Costumes ‘Fat Girl Costumes’ On Website

wal-mart-plus-size-costumes.jpg Wal-Mart has publicly apologized after online shoppers discovered that plus-size Halloween costumes were all grouped within a 'Fat Girl Costumes' section of their website. Clearly somebody in their web commerce division skipped their mandatory political correctness seminar. Or maybe someone was recently angered that a big beautiful woman turned them down and decided to lash out. Oooooor maybe Wal-Mart is just a giant insensitive jerk at heart and doesn't really care about their number one demographic. "It's not like those fat idiots in Mississippi can even use computers!" I imagine an executive saying before lighting a cigar with a handful of $100 bills. Thanks to Allyson, who is a firm believer in not buying your Halloween costume on Wal-Mart's website.
