It seems that no matter how hard they try to get good press, something always seems to pop up... and today is no exception. Apparently Wal-Mart, through a 3rd party company, is funding a white supremacist blog with some pretty offensive stuff on it. Take a look at the screen shot below:
According to ValleyWag who caught the banner, Wal-Mart responded to their inquiry with this statement: "We are investigating this matter and take it very seriously. This site used our banners without our authorization and we are working to have them immediately removed." Is anyone satisfied with the removal and investigation of this situation?
Wal-Mart has been pretty slow at catching up with web scene and the blogosphere, but I'm not sure there is any excuse for supporting this kind of hatred.
