Seeing that there is now a Wal-Mart in town, could be a helluva lot of fun!! Note too that that site also includes vehicles in the Wallyworld parking lot.
I'm trying to be charitable here, and assume people don't really understand this...
The linked website is one of the most mean-spirited exercises I have ever encountered; it's devoted entirely to the anonymous publication of sneak, phone-cam pictures of obese, ugly, oddly-dressed, or otherwise (apparently) ridiculous-in-the-poster's-eyes specimens of humanity.
Some respondents in this thread seem to think the challenge is about making fun of Walmart (currently a national sport of sorts, and with good reason IMO), but actually the referenced site's about being mean to people who aren't "normal" or "beautiful" enough for you.
I'd be the first to acknowledge that probably ALL of us, at one time or another, have looked at another human and said "Ewwwwww...." but still, come ON. Do we really want our site sponsoring an organized challenge that encourages us to make fun of people who don't meet our personal aesthetic standards?

That's not what I was thinking at all at all. Honi soit qui mal y pense. But I suppose PEOPLE of walmart might imply that, and I didn't check out the link. I like shooting in these mega emporium set ups for the sheer meganese of it.

This is what I suspected. And I agree that a "Big Box Store" challenge could be a fun one, but I am adamantly against anything that encourages making fun of "weird people" the way the linked site does. I think that's just mean...

R.
I suppose there is always that danger in any public shooting. We have constantly to draw the line between appreciation and mockery; misinterpretations are bound to occur. And we ourselves morph in terms of sensitivity and taste.
