Irony, Thy Name is Wal-Mart

Pretty funny (not ha-ha, no) when you consider that Wal-Mart regularly makes decisions on what books YOU can purchase there. From the WaPo:

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said yesterday that it made a "terrible" mistake in approving a recent newspaper advertisement that equated a proposed Arizona zoning ordinance with Nazi book-burning.

The full-page advertisement included a 1933 photo of people throwing books on a pyre at Berlin's Opernplatz. It was run as part of a campaign against a Flagstaff ballot proposal that would restrict Wal-Mart from expanding a local store to include a grocery.
