... Or Is This Really What They Mean?

“Go above and beyond- a smile and a hello doesn’t cost anything.”

This is a quote from the current Wal•Mart TV ad that's in the mix for about the 21st cycle. All I can think of when I see it is that only at Wal•Mart could "a smile and a hello" be considered going "above and beyond." This is the same idiot ad that announces that a lot of people think that having a Wal•Mart open in your town is like getting a raise.

If I believed in the Semitic/Neo-Semitic god, I'd rest secure in the knowledge that Sam Walton is roasting alongside Milton Friedman in the hottest hole in Hell.
