I'm not refering to anyone in particular, just the general semblance of "holy fuck I'm not going there again after hearing this news" that's in this thread.

What the company was asking for is within their legal rights to do so, however, and I think the overall negative reaction to the enforcement of a bloody contract, no matter how unfortunate it is for the family involved, is silly and hyperbolic. It's not like they're breaking the law, here.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't think I ever said they were, actually. I certainly wasn't saying "You're SOL, get on with it" either, I was just thinking it was silly to run around with a boycott threat because of a situation which is pretty much unsurprising as fuck considering the corporate entity we're dealing with here.

The morality/legality link is pretty strong in this case, though. You either do the right moral thing and the wrong legal thing, or the wrong moral thing and the right legal thing. Doesn't seem to be a win win, really. Shame there is no real way to seperate it. Even if that's what I tried to do, that's what people are focusing on. =\

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That'll only happen if I'm unfortunate enough to have bought the pants at Wal-mart in the first place.

I'm observant enough to note that the tag says "in case of accident while cleansing these pantaloons, Wal-mart reserves the right to recall this article of clothing and take your wallet."

How ya doing, buddy?
