Apparently, this African-American fellow is such a fan of The Dukes of Hazzard and professional football that he had a jersey crafted to combine his two loves. It'd take a progressive fellow to set aside the Confederate flag on the hood of the General Lee and just love those Duke boys for their down-home charm and turbo-charged transportation. (Oh, and their women, of course. Progressiveness is nice as far as it goes, but let's not go crazy here.)
It would also take a progressive corporation to portray that fellow in one of their commercials, don't you think? Or maybe just a corporation that doesn't notice the self-amused costume designer or other crew members' inside joke until after it airs. Still, Wal-Mart, just between you and me? You might want to check into this. Now get out of here, you crazy kids, and enjoy the game!

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. initially wanted that number and color scheme.

Wal-Mart is to big and smart to need any advice from consumers or employees. They don't care who built the retail giant. There are really smart people in charge now and if lemmings buy the stuff then lemmings are targeted by the ads.

MY HUSBAND WORKS FOR WAL-MART, (WHAT A JOKE THAT) THE MANAGER OF THAT STORE IS THE MOST DO NOTHING PERSON. WAL-MART SUCKS AS AN EMPLOYER, THE ONLY STUFF THEY HAVE THERE IS JUNK FROM CHINA, THAT HAS LEAD PAINT IN IT.
