For Sale: Videos of Wal-Mart Execs In Drag



Wal-Mart is not happy.

Flagler Productions Inc., a production company hired by Wal-Mart in the 1970s to film company events, has begun selling the videos to, well, whoever wants them. The videos, of which there are thousands, contain everything from company executives dressing in drag to, let's say, less than pleasant rants on the merits of organized labor.

The videos are of particular interest to attorneys involved in the lawsuit against Wal-Mart on behalf of 1.6 million women that claim widespread sexual discrimination. One video shows the founder of Wal-Mart, Ed Walton, admitting that efforts to train and promote women had been unsatisfactory at best.

In a statement to ABC News, Wal-Mart responded to this banana-hammockery in a eerily calm manner with the following:

"Needless to say, we did not pay Flagler Productions to tape internal meetings with this aftermarket in mind. It's definitely an unusual business model on their end, and we can't imagine too many other clients will be eager to pay for this service."

Creepy.

We are not fooled by the soothing tone of this politically correct statement and fully expect every employee of Flagler Productions to be utterly destitute within the next 48 hours.
