Can you believe people like this?!?!?!, it angers me.
Baseketball is great.
Wal-Mart isn't.
...haven't shopped there in about 2 years. F*ck the cheaper prices, I'd rather pay a little extra and not support the single worst chain store in my country, which almost single-handedly removes smaller (i.e. local) businesses and makes individuality in business (or in our consumer trends) a thing of the past.
