Ashikaga Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I heard that Reverend Al Sharpton is upset with WalMart.Com. When a person clicks to order the movie "Planet of the Apes", it goes on to recommend purchasing movies about Martin Luther King, Jr. and Tina Turner. Wal-Mart said that it was a computer glitch. Has anyone else heard anything about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJones Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) We haven't even made it a week into the new year and Al Sharpton is already looking for a new crusade to sue a major corporation on some bogus charge.Probably some dumb kid who helps control the website, thought it would be funny, show his buddies what he did, now it has spiraled out of his control because somebody caught on. Wal-Mart would never "intentionally" do something like that. Edited January 6, 2006 by TJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoog Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 He and his entourage walked out without paying. They were terrible customers, of course during the meal.They were stopped in the parking lot. "We thought this was comped", yada, yada, yada. The tab was $300.00. They gave the manager $300.00 and a hard time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson both get on my nerves, they preach so much about being anti-racism but then when they notice a slight fault that may show african americans in a negative way, you better watch out.What a couple of babies.
