Progressive Wal-Mart—“Brokeback” edition
Some gay outlets are praising WM:
- [T]his week, the mega-retailer stood its ground and resisted calls from the American Family Association to refuse to sell the “Brokeback Mountain” DVD.
Wal-Mart even promoted the DVD in displays featuring the gay characters portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger.
…
Some will say that Wal-Mart is just greedy and knows a hot-selling product when it sees it. But the behemoth is uber-popular in the red states where the American Family Association and other so-called Christian groups hold lots of influence.
So, just this once, kudos to Wal-Mart.
More from the New York Blade here.
Might this signal a bigger shift?
- Previously, Wal-Mart has refused to carry the George Carlin written political satire, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, and last year canceled special orders for Daily Show host John Stewart’s America.

I've just been staying at home waiting for something to happen, but I don't care. Basically nothing seems worth thinking about. I can't be bothered with anything recently.

I've more or less been doing nothing worth mentioning, but eh. My life's been really bland today. I don't care. I've just been letting everything happen without me these days. That's how it is.

I haven't gotten anything done recently. I've just been hanging out doing nothing. I haven't been up to anything these days, but it's not important. Today was a total loss.
