I am not blaming walmart for american culture, but i'm gonna partly blame the media for that...and walmart is just an extension of that.
I will not, however, argue that america is a violent country, founded in violence and distress, and puritanical in other regards...
Kind of a funny dichotomy, if you ask me. Still, the media caters and walmart follows, at least in some aspects.
I just got REALLY pissed at paying $14 for a CD at walmart that had all the curse words blanked out. The cd was not labelled any differently than the best buy version, but it was most definitely a different cd. What's worse is that there was only 1 song with very few cursewords in it...(stabbing westward's save yourself has one line saying, "I look just as f**ked up as you" and they just blank out F*****P" which totally messes with singing the song. i would have had NO problem fi they just would have said something like "Edited for walmart" on the package. Again, it's a small thing to bicker over, but it's the general point, i paid for the NONRADIO version of a song and i ended up with a radio edit...grrrr
ps. I hate the ice cream trucks that ride around my neighborhood playing that stupid "and you tie him in a bow" song on bells..WTFAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Violence and sex on tv won't make me go on a murderous rampage, but 30 minutes of the same tune...oh yea..send me after any terrorist country, they'll be gone in an hour..
