I can poke fun at my sister all I want. But I'll be damned if I'll let the local diner post her picture and poke public fun of it. Kinda the same thing here. You and I and everybody else can make all the fun of Bush while he's in office that we want to. It's in poor taste for the biggest retailer in the US to do so.

Is that any better?
i can dig what you're saying but i dont agree. Using your analogy yes you can make fun of your own family but when someone else does then there's a problem. Hypocritical yes, but i agree with it. Now we are all americans, and a part of the same "family" and the video of our dumbass "dad" is for sale so the whole "family" can see it.

perhaps an unclear approach to your analogy, but it seems right. wal mart is trying to make a buck plain and simple, there is no need to try and make this a "their being patriotic but by selling this they are not" wal mart is not patriotic. by buying, selling, or watching this video that does make a person non-patriotic, period.
