The greeters at several local Walmart Supercenters know me and my kids by name :) However, the car observation is 100% spot on in the neighborhood I referenced. This isn't about being judgmental though, it's about a hilarious mistake on a cake. Relax! Afraid you’re wrong Monique - I shop there more than you think.

However, the car observation is 100% spot on in the neighborhood I referenced.

This isn’t about being judgmental though, it’s about a hilarious mistake on a cake. Relax!

Have you tried verifying it through W3? It could just be A theme problem though... Just thought I would warn you from one webmaster to another because I would hate to lose my traffic if I had an issue and didn't notice.

I shop at a walmart supercenter very consistently, i am a USC grad, advertising sales manager for a forbes top 100 company and have a small family. Walmart consistently has good quality of grocery items as well as low cost. Target is a good company as well, however, the Lexus vs minivan analogy is ludicrous. It shows how unaware ginnie is in relation to society. Most people shop by closeness,price and preference for type of goods. I feel bad for the cake lady, and obviously there was miss-communication and a language barrier. It is a totally funny story and I bet the party people have a cute story to tell forever and had more fun than if it were perfect. who doesn't like a good laugh.

They have made custom golf courses, picnic tables complete with chicken leg, hamburger, and a red and white table cloth all done with icing and creative life like spraying for the colors. Sure stupid mistakes shown as the "underneath that" stuff are really funny, but tell me, where are you going to get a custom golf course, picnic table, or High School mascot half sheet cake for 30 dollars? You tell me cause, Publix only does roses and kit cakes, they don't allow creativity. I happen to work at a Wal-mart in Tallahassee with a very talented cake decorating team.

Why is it that people refuse to do their own research anymore? The only places that I can find anything stating the dog was starved, and even died, are blogs, and petitions. Nothing else. No accountable witnesses, nothing on any legitimate news media, nothing at all. But somehow the tale gets so far fetched that it's just mythically believed that this artist starved the dog to death. Odd thing, though, how while every other piece of media from Central America regarding this incident states that they can't confirm anything, the one bit of media that did confirm from the manager of the gallery that Vargas actually did feed and water the dog and care for it for the 21 hours a day that the exhibit wasn't going on - it gets absolutely ignored? Animal rights are fine, but you are doing a disservice to the animal rights movement by reporting on things as if they are truth, when absolutely nothing has been proven.
