For all of Walmart’s talk about saving consumers money, it’s instances like this when you really see Walmart’s true colors.

The truth is that Walmart keeps all of its prices in the bargain basement to lure in consumers, but most of its products are either A. Chinese-made crap or B. unreliable.

You get what you pay for at Walmart.

Well, I dunno what to say about Walmart at this time, cause their image is kinda blurry. First, Walmart discontinues music. Second, Walmart secretly urges all of their employees to vote for John McCain and think about their jobs on the “DL” and unionization. Now, they slash the music? Come on now…that’s wishy washy music distribution and politics also!
