Quote:How many IS-flagged products do you think Walmart carries? I'll give you a hint: the answer is between zero and zero. Walmart made a snap decision (and, imo, the wrong one) in banning the rebel flag, and they probably didn't see the need to ban merchandise that they don't sell anyway. There's probably been a corporate memo sent out by now that shows the various images that their cake decorators are no longer permitted to illustrate, and the ISIS battle flag is certainly on that list, but seriously. You're going to fault Walmart for not expressly banning something that they've never sold and never expected to see on a cake?

 

 

  Once Walmart decided to ban the Confederate Flag,  they opened the door for a reaction that wasn't going to be favorable.   It's a combination of Walmart not being prepared for the reaction  ( they should have been prepared ) and deep down not being concerned about what ISIS stands for.   Their apology doesn't sound convincing.   

 

   Even worse was YouTube removing the video,  which isn't surprising knowing how YouTube operates:
