Wal-Mart’s critics have found religion in their battle against the nation’s largest retailer. First, they made a movie available to church groups to stimulate discussion. Now comes the next crusade, as ABC News reports:
WakeUpWalMart.com on Thursday unveiled a religious-themed campaign Thursday asking shoppers whether God wants them to buy things from the Bentonville, Ark.-based company.
The 30-second TV spot, starting Friday in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Texas, is part of the latest seasonal-themed campaign against Wal-Mart. The TV ad starts with a picture of a Bible-like tome and an off-screen narrator who says, “Our faith teaches us ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’
“If these are our values, then ask yourself: should people of faith shop at Wal-Mart this holiday season?”
For those of you who don’t live in God’s country, You can watch the spot by clicking here.
WakeUpWalMart.com is largely backed by the United Food & Commercial Workers union, so both Wal-Mart and their critics will no doubt have the financial means to keep the holy war of words going.
