Death by WalMart

I'm sure many other people will comment on the ugliness and symbolism of a Wal-Mart employee getting crushed to death by rampaging shoppers. There is a lot to say about our treatment of workers, mob mentality, and the absolute necessity of owning a flat screen TV, but to me, the most shocking part of the tale is the lack of oversight in WalMart's public relations department.
Commenting on the death and injuries that occurred in the stampede in which people were crushed and trampled WalMart said (I shit you not): "[The company's] thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those impacted."
Not the best choice of words...
