Links of the Weekend

The lovely and talented Boudicca hosts this week’s Carnival of the Recipes! And while we’re talking about Boudicca, I should mention that we all need to update our blogrolls to Bou’s new address.
This week’s Carnival of Cordite is up at Resistance is Futile! And we finally get to see the face that belongs to those feet on Gullyborg’s sidebar. Beware his google ads, though; they’re kinda spazzing.

Walmart: We think less.

Walmart seems to be taking cues from the Democratic underground playbook which actually has only one play by the way, namely calling people NAZI’s if they don’t like them.
For those to lazy to read the article. Walmart makes an ad saying lawmakers are acting like NAZI bookburners for attempting to change the zoning laws.
A few people got, shall we say, a little upset. Now Walmart says they plan to apologise.
Its a good thing they didn’t jump right out and apologise, because the last thing they need to do now is act a manner that some might consider brash or hasty.
Telling is the last line, a quote from a consultant who was responsible for creating the ad.

“People make mistakes. They move on,” he said.

The ‘.org’ is silent I guess.
