Instead of complaining that your url was no good, it occurred to me I
could just google on the subject line.

The first hit was Walmart apologizing for doing this. I havent' read
the story yet but it was probably some 22-year old pastry clerk, who has
knows what band is playing at what stock car race but has no idea who
ISIS is. Or at least no idea what their flag looks like. I have no
idea what their flag looks like either.

Sure enough, the inscription was in Arabic. Who can read that? Not the
clerk at Walmart.

All in all, pretty funny.


A good example of "The Dumbassification Of America". Why didn't baker, who probably has a smart phone, take a picture and search the web.


Are you serious? That's ridiculous.


Why? Would that not be SOP for a company that's so worried about Political Correctness. I imagine there is now a new directive for all the Walmart bakeries to be careful to check all images before putting one on a cake. ^_^
