Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground

Michigan youth investigate how WalMart came to their small town

swampgirl says...

This boy needs to grow the hell up.

You know I'm about to move into one of those little quaint slices of nowhere pretty soon cause my hubby's job. Hamlet/Rockingham, NC. The first house finding trip I took was grim. Nothing. Hardly any of the business I've come to rely upon to get the things I need for my family. I have two children you see.

How far out of the area was I going to have to drive in order to shop for the things we need? 1 hour? to Raleigh? 1 1/2 to Charlotte?

You could imagine my relief to see a Walmart Superstore there later that day. For 24 hours a day, I can get anything a family basically needs.

To those folks living in those small towns where they roll the sidewalks up a 8:00 p.m., I'd like this little wide eyed spoiled college boy all filled up with unrealistic childhood idealism tell me where I'm going to find children's advil, tylenol cold, puffs plus, favorite juice, popsicles, soup, and electric blanket at 3 a.m. when my little boy wakes up in pain from his fever and cold..?

Sam Walton is a genius, because unlike this pipplely welp that only has to worry about whether to finish his term paper that weekend or go skiing, there was an entepreneur that understands the needs of average family. He has the basic needs of the family met...and at decent prices... 24 hours a day. God bless him, damnit!

I want to see this kid married one day w/ a baby. I bet you he'll be charging in Walmart one night wearing jeans, no socks w/ sneakers, pajama top under coat to get diapers, humidifier, ear drops or ointments and some kotex. He'll remember his cute little student film bitching about this symbol of encroaching capitalism...this evil empire. He might even pick up a coke and tabloid paper on his way out.
