Wal-Mart has a pretty lengthy history of not selling books, music, and movies that they decide is not fit for consumption by right-thinking Americans. That's their right, even if it is the result of misguided paternalism. However, it pretty much results in the forfeit of any use of the specter of censorship of in your PR campaigns. A Wal-Mart PR manager in Arizona has resigned after a group funded entirely by Wal-Mart ran an ad in a local paper invoking the specter of Nazi book burnings in a debate with local anti-development groups. Sorry, guys, you just can't say that with straight face. If you can, you need a new job.
