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.


I'm not so sure it's that ridiculous. When you start sensoring the
confederate flag, presumably you have some governing standards and
there must be more than just the confederate flag that gets censored.
If Walmart has some policy, then they should have a list of what
they won't put on a cake and the confederate flag should not be
the only thing on it. And you would expect that the ISIS flag would be.
Apparently though, either they really have no governing standards
or the ISIS flag isn't on it. Neither of which reflects well on Walmart.
