Did you see she is in a Hyundai commercial?  :laugh: :laugh:  I did a double-take when I saw that sitting in the wait area at the tire shop about 4 weeks ago.  Went home and got on her youtube channel and there was no mention of it.  Thought I was going nuts but then eventually she posted a video mentioning it.

As far as I know, she is lifting the images from peopleofwalmart.com, which is all user-submitted content from anywhere.

This, because I have seen several of those photos on the site.

Have you ever looked at the site.  In the beginning I would say most were candid shots and the people being photographed had no idea.  But anymore I would say 30-40% are staged.

As near as I can figure, the nice young lady and some associates are dressing up as characters from www.peopleofwalmart.com , interspersed with some stills of the actual people of walmart taken from the website.

Some of the stills may have the tag showing which state they were shot in/attributed to.  I'm sure not going tp pore over all of them and the website to match them up - unless someone has enough money for me to waste time looking.  (Anybody?)

stay safe.

Well, that's the first time i've seen the site.

And i'm disturbed. It's like all the worst things one see's at walmart over the course of a few years distilled into one nightmare of a website.
*shudder* and I have to go to walmart in the near future.

I go to Wal Mart fairly often and the greatest majority of people there are perfectly normal people, not the uh, well, the interesting people shown on the website we're discussing.

And then trade my walmart for yours.

It depends on how work goes. I could be perfectly normal, I could be covered in white fuzzy undercoat or I could be mauled, bloody and battered.

There's two pretty near me and a third a bit farther away -- what I've said applies to all of them.
What can I say?   Guess I'm just lucky that way.   [tinfoil]

This is Wal-Mart.....the correct phraseology is "Are ya gonna get yer picture took?"......

The People of Gun Shows would be an interesting web site. Gun ranges, too, for that matter.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

the cruddy lap top I am borrowing wont let me see the link, however the walmart I go to in a upscale part of Reno, NV has lots of nice people there & they are selling SIG AR15s, the old guy behind the gun counter is smart and friendly.

I lost the receipt for the headlamp I bought a month 1/2 ago and the nice young feller that was the manager let me exchange it because it broke.

I like walmart, you just have to be kind of careful of what you're buying.
There is a Kohl's across the way from wallyworld, I went in with a senior lady I was driving. The mens underwear was almost 20 dollars a pack, in wallyworld the same exact thing sold for 7 or 8 bucks.
