Quote:Oh stop. Did they object to making the ISIS cake in any way, shape, or form? No, they didn't. They made it and sold it. They also "gladly" did it because Wal-Mart states their employees are always happy to assist. :thanks:

 

I'm sick of this argument, so I'll just make three points then walk away and laugh at everyone who still wants to make this an issue.

 

1. Walmart never anticipated that some hick with an axe to grind would walk in and ask for an ISIS cake.

2. The employee had almost certainly never seen an ISIS cake before, and had no idea what they'd been asked to create.

3. In Walmart's apology, they are quick to point out that the cake should never have been made, and wouldn't have been if the employee that the hick took advantage of (or anyone else, for that matter) had known what they were looking at.

 

Now let this non-story die. A redneck with an axe to grind decided to make an example of Walmart by exploiting an employee who was asked to make a cake with a symbol that they had no knowledge of. Try printing a Nazi flag and taking that in to Walmart to have it put on a cake. Bet you they won't do it. Know why? Because a swastika is a known symbol of hate. It wasn't a known symbol of hate until the 1930's, and if a Walmart baker had been asked in 1933 to print a Nazi flag cake, they probably would have, because they'd have had no idea what it was and no reason to believe it was nefarious.
