Brilliant Web Page

I just visited www.walmart-foundation.org, which hosts a parody of http://www.walmartfoundation.org/. The home pages used to look very similar by intent. However, since Wal-Mart has now issued a cease and desist letter to the site's host ISP, the parody page has been moved from the index to an internal link. Of course, Wal-Mart doesn't want to be known for trying to stifle free speech, so they're taking the cowardly path and threatening the ISP under the DMCA. Regardless, the page has many great quotes in it. "By running this [Corporate Social Responsibility] page, we get to avert any criticism of anything bad we do by highlighting the good works that we do in our community. [...] In our experience, we can silence dissent by convincing the masses that our interests and their interests intersect." And the Labor Diversity Bingo is great. You fill out a Bingo card based on where the products were manufactured. It's just a great site.
