Whether you have ever been to Walmart or not, it is a proven fact that if you venture to America's favorite superstore at any given time, you are very likely to see an interesting person. I can safely say that anyone reading this has been there at one point or another and have subsequently seen someone they most likely wouldn't have seen anywhere else. Now imagine all of these interesting people, and imagine that they have all been catalogued on the internet for the world to see. The outcome happens to be at www.peopleofwalmart.com. I have always wished that something like this was available, because one of the main reasons I visit Walmart is for the incredibly interesting people. Thus this website is exactly what I thought it would look like. It has a simple design, isn't too hard to figure out at all, and is completely hilarious. I especially enjoy the Love and Hate tabs which of course feature feedback that comes in either tone. With an executed concept such as this, it is bound to receive hate mail arguing that such pictures are hurtful and cruel. However, I submit, do they deserve it? With anyone who purposefully chooses to go out into the world dressed like most of these people do, do they not think they will be made fun of? It's almost as if these people think that Walmart is a safe haven for wearing any combination of clothing imaginable. I really don't think they are trying to be cruel in any manner, because it plainly says on their About Us page that they don't want pictures of the handicapped since that would be obviously crossing a line. So if you happen to be amused by the creatures you see in Walmart, go check it out for yourself. Although I would beware since sometimes the pictures can be borderline NSFW.
