Wal-Mart apologizes for selling Nazi shirts


Who's apologizing now?

That would be Wal-Mart, those icons of marketing....for selling NAZI shirts. Hey, aren't WalMart shoppers mostly Republican? (and Nazi's?) Or at least that's what people out there think.

Statement from Wal-Mart:

We were not aware of the origins of the image until this morning when we learned about it through the blog Bent Corner.

We are deeply sorry that this happened, and we are in the process of pulling all of these t-shirts from our stores. Respect for the individual is a core value of our company and we would never have placed this t-shirt on our shelves had we known the origin and significance of this emblem.

We are reviewing our product review process in an effort to ensure this never happens again.

Sincerely,

Marshall Manson
