1 million women sue Wal-Mart for BILLIONS


But not because they're getting any, that's for sure. Nope, this is an old-fashioned sex discrimination suit - probablly well deserved. Hey, middle America! How do you think they keep the prices so LOW?

Reuters The biggest sexual discrimination case in U.S. history advanced against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Tuesday when a top court ruled that more than a million women could join a suit charging bias in pay and promotions.

The plaintiffs estimate they could win billions of dollars in lost pay and damages and that as many as two million women who have worked for Wal-Mart in its U.S. stores since 1998 could join a class-action lawsuit.

Wal-Mart affair: She did it with him and the wife turned over the emails


Who's sorry now?

Julie? Sean? The wife? Wal-Mart? Hard to say. We do know that getting any at work is dangerous. And what's with WalMart apparently extorting the email from the wife by holding her husband's $200K bonus over her head?

Meanwhile, the winner is likely to be Julie, who's having fun livin' large:

ABC While the rhetoric heats up and the saga evolves into a soap opera, Roehm keeps herself busy looking for work and entertaining several offers to write a book about her experience. Over the weekend, she traveled to Miami where she watched the Super Bowl with some friends who work at Sports Illustrated. (The former advertising chief's favorite Super Bowl ad: those viewer-generated Doritos commercials.)

And Roehm continued to insist that office politics played a part in the rumors of a romance. "Define inappropriate for me," said Roehm. "Sean is a great friend, not a romantic friend. He's like a brother to me. Some of my very best friends are men. I know that even in this day and age, it's still hard to think that a woman and a man can be friends"

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
