WalMart refuses to sell Jon Stewart's book
Advertisements [?]
Store chain yanks 'Daily Show' host best-seller over nude pix

BY PAUL D. COLFORD
DAILY NEWS BUSINESS WRITER
Jon's too hot for Wal-Mart --

Nine nudes are a no-go at Wal-Mart.
The giant store chain won't stock Jon Stewart's big best-seller, "America (The Book)," because one page shows nine naked bodies - with the heads of the Supreme Court justices pasted on them.

In the pseudo civics textbook, readers are asked to restore the judges' dignity by matching the nine with their black robes on the opposite page.

"America," written by Stewart and his "Daily Show" colleagues, will mark its third week Sunday at No.1 on The New York Times best-seller list.

Though not on Wal-Mart's store shelves, "America" was still being offered yesterday on Walmart.com - at 45% off the $24.95 list price.
