Wal-Mart is starting an ad campaign to improve it's reputation amongst those Americans who are not the Jerry Springer/American Idol, mouthbreathing incest crowd. I'm not sure I am, or even should be, their target audience.
Meanwhile, Starbucks is about to find out why they call it Forbidden City, as the Chinese decided whether or not to let their products remain in one of the country's most revered locales.
Meanwhile, Toys 'R Us has had to deal with bad press concerning not awarding a prize to the first baby born in the new year. Turns out that baby was born to a Chinese mother who is not an American citizen, nor has papers. I wish I could find a story that quoted the grandmother of the second prize winning baby in Georgia. She's quite the little ultra-nationalist racist. They've since cleaned her mouth up, at least over the internet. And Toys 'R Us did the wrong thing by giving three kids a prize. Great for the kids, but not exactly an acknowledgement that they're right bastards.
More on the Democrat's legislative assault on the Bush theocorporate agenda. May the Senate wise up and follow suit.
