Norway pensions drop Wal-Mart

By Jesse Russell

Norway has removed Wal-Mart shares from the county's government pension fund. That country's finance minister said the decision was made due to the world's largest retailer's repeated violations of human and labor rights. The move follows the decision last year by Danish pension funds to disinvest from Wal-Mart.

4. Other countries can see Wal-Mart for what they are...

...meanwhile in America...



















Wal-Mart parking lots are jam packed with foreign cars, and their stores are stuffed to the gills with stupid Americans thinking they're saving a ton of money by shopping there.

They don't even stop to consider for one moment what they're giving up - and they're too stupid to realize they're shopping themselves out of a job. :(

6. Uh-Oh - Hillary Will Be Pissed

Ms. Clinton worked hard as a Director of Wal-Mart for six years, when they were pioneering their "Always the lowest wages. Always." policies.

This is a slap in the face. They will pay.
