Wal-Mart Exposed: Videos You Were Never Meant To See

"Excerpt: Aside from the serious allegations of discrimination, the videos also
show a glimpse of corporate shenanigans, including one meeting at which male
employees dressed in ladies lingerie and sang a song, "Walkin' Round in Women's
Underwear" to the tune of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland."

The particular song parody seems attributed to Bob Rivers (credit where credit is due).

I guess the rule that dressing up is okay as long as its a joke.  ::)

As for selling the videos, I'm sort of ambivalent, because while the ethics is highly questionable, it is also payback for Wal-Mart breaking a verbal commitment.

Of course, they might have wanted to do this.  I'm no big fan of Wallmart, but this is the least of their problems.  In fact, they've been rather good to TGs.

What an odd agreement they must have had with that film company. You'd think they'd have been more careful and written up an agreement that had the property in the films be with Wal-Mart and limit disclosure or distribution. And I can't believe a company would get snippy after having had the contract for 36 years without having it in writing.

Geeez, bad business practices. Oh and the drag thing is funny imo.
