No more "big box" designs for Mal-Wort.

Doesn't matter what it looks like, it's still a W-M and I'm not buying.

The big-box behemoth is changing its look.

From now on, in communities across the country, Wal-Mart's newest stores won't come standard issue.

"We don't want them all to look the same," said Keith Morris, the retailer's director of community affairs for Colorado.

"The one in Thornton should look different than the one in Lakewood."

For the past several months, Wal-Mart has been approaching communities with new store plans that are unique - and that markedly depart from the standard blue-and-gray rectangles that have made the company infamous.

The change represents a seismic shift in big-box culture, and the ripple effect should sweep through communities throughout Colorado and nationally.

1. When they start altering the packaging

and hoping to bring people in on style, rather than substance, you know that saturation has been reached.

5. Unfortunately, Style always will triumph over substance.

Just look at Fox News...and all the pretty colors!!...OOooooooo!!!!

2. Wal-Mart is threatening to sue my township

they want to move in but don't want to pay for the traffic alterations that would be necessary to make their store traffic friendly...tough shit...I want Costco or nothing..

4. Here we got

an extra 1/2 cent sales tax to pay for road construction to the 2 newest WM's and I'm really pissed about it passing.

Doesn't matter what it looks like, Walmart is still Walmart.

Actually, in my house, it's F---ing Walmart.

6. Pizza 77 cents are Target...

...the same ones that are 99 cents at Analmart! Although, Mal-Wort, I like that! Good one! Hey, have they paved over any Native America burrial grounds lately? Funny, I don't hear Target doing crap like that. Among many other wacked out crap Mal-Wort does.

EDIT ALERT! Make that "AT" not "ARE"! Damn...I hate when I have those "Bush Moments" don't you?
