I hope no one believed this joke news item. By the time you read the part of the story quoted below you just had to believe it was pure fiction.

"According to Wal-Mart, America’s largest retailer, the company admits that more than 5,000 shoppers will be killed at their stores this holiday season."
The question of whether anyone believed it isn't the issue. The fact that you posted it as news is.

You posted it in exactly the same manner as you post all your other irrelevant bullshït "news" items. Nowhere did you indicate that this was any kind of a joke.

I do that because I want to report the news not give my tanted opinion about it.
Even though you're now claiming that this was not actual news at all?

I'll be expecting at least one news item from you per day. Get to work please.
Uh, no, I won't be doing that, because: when I have no news to report, I opt to not report news. Instead of, y'know, posting any random crap that I think will boost a site's Google ranking or whatever.
