| Walmart is under fire for racism yet again. I imagine you all know about it already from the news but just incase, I'm posting it. |

Wal-Mart Stores is shutting down the automated system that creates movie recommendations on its shopping website after the system randomly linked a Planet of the Apes DVD to films about African-Americans including Martin Luther King Jr., the company said Thursday.
Oh that Walmart.
Dr. Doolittle 2 had talking raccoons in it. AND a black guy. Coincidence? I THINK NOT. |

"We are heartsick that this happened and are currently doing everything possible to correct the problem,"
I've never heard of the term 'heartsick', but I like it!

I didn't know about this, as I'm in the UK, so thanks for posting it for all us foreigners |
