Every few months, some sort of meme blog will emerge where a snarky blogger will write witty 1 liners about pictures of 'fucking retards' who are 'making asses of themselves' even though they are just 'being themselves.' Basically, u get to make fun of people who probably don't even really know how to read blogs, or how blog technology + modern publishing systems even work. If they do have a computer, it is probably a 'slow ass' desktop infected with a 'shitload' of 'spyware.'
This picture comes from a 'viral meme blog' called 'People Who Shop At WalMart because they are Poor.' The premise of the blog revolves around 'making fun of people' because they are 'fucking trapped in their lives' and they have to shop at Wal Mart. These people probably have some sort of mental or social issues, and end up 'looking like fucking jack asses' without even realizing it. Some1 will photograph them digitally, upload it to the internet, and come up with a relevant 'snark joke' which ensures that you are 'better' than the person pictured, not only because of your relatively regular personal appearance, but also because of ur elevated class+financial status.
I feel like this overweight person is attempting to be 'alt' by wearing some shuttershades, a black + neon hoodie and some kewl converse/Vans shoes.. He also had 'tight jeans' but that might be because of his weight problems. While it would be snarky to 'make fun' of this individual, it is more important to recognize that this minority represents everything that is wrong with America. We truly live in a Fast Food Nation where it is cheaper to gorge yourself on high-fat + high-sodium foods. Not only are poor people culturally-irrelevant due to their lack of connection with ongoing trends on the internet, but they are also priced out of fresh foods and organic options at chains like Whole Foods or Trader Bro's.
It would be 'so easy' to 'make fun' of this person, but in order to make our society a better place, we have to realize that we can't support big businesses like the Walmarts. They have basically enslaved the human race, and are encouraging us to die as soon as possible. Being educated and able to execute relevant trends is a true luxury, not just because of the high level media and humor that we get to consume, but also because of many of the high-end lifestyle choices that we get to make. While you may laugh at this 'beached alt', u have to realize that he is a victim of his own circumstances.
One day, the doctor will tell him that he has diabetes. One day the doctor will prescribe him with blood pressure medication. One day he will have his leg amputated [via diabetes]. One day this bro will be on life support. Your taxes are paying for this. We need to save the medical care system and the educational child feeding system before they use up all of our money. It seems like we might need to 'outlaw' all restaurants, and possibly have 'feeding ports' where all citizens eat for free only approved, well-balanced meals. Not sure if Obama is 'communist enough' to make this happen.
Should I move to a 'skinny state' or should I go to a 'fat ass state' and open a Chili's?
Do yall like the 'peoples of Walmart' blog, or is it too 'mean spirited', 'classist', and 'racist' 4 u?
Do u shop at the Walmart for unbeatable prices?
Are blogs getting 'too snarkie'?
Do u eat fast foods?
Is Walmart bad for small businesses?
Did a Walmart ruin ur local community/hometown?
Is Wal Mart some sort of 'watering hole' for poor people? Does it make u sad that u can't authentically hunt+gather n e more, and it is all just consumer bullshit corporate America decisions?
It seems like Viral Meme Blogs are successful because they encourage people to 'share laughs.' I feel sorta like the 'art of standup comedy' might be dead since it is such a long, boring experience to share with some1. It seems like it might be more 'instantaneously rewarding' to let people jump into a zany ass link that you shared with the world.
I honestly feel like healthcare will 'fix itself' if we just let the obese generations 'kill themselves.'
Do u have an opinion?
Should I start a commune?

whole foods tag lol
@b4hc, damn
I haven't eaten fast food in probably 3 years, I don't drink soda, eat candy, or for the most part any junk food at all, that stuff's no good. When you eat good, you feel good. When I can, I try to avoid Wal-Marts, because they embody everything I am against. But of course, in this world, everyone is a hypocrite in some fashion, and while I don't support Wal-Mart, I'm sure I'm guilty buying from another equally big corporation.
@Brad,
congrats bro. so happy for u
@Brad, u should be so proud of urself. so tell me all about the fun things u avoid so ur can prolong ur less fun life?
@bbbbb,
Haha, I don't think fast foods fun man, everyone saying I'm pretentious, not really. I just don't like that stuff. Also, if life is based around eating junk to have "fun", you are right, I am mindlessly prolonging a boring life. Bummer.
@Brad, <33 u brad!!!!
@Brad, pretentious douche why dont you start grwing ur food in your parents backyard too
@Brad, hey BRAD
F U
@Brad, is it really true that eating good makes you feel better? Seems gimicky...
@joe the loaf, it's true i've tried it. you feel more energetic. i try to do it as often as i can, but i can't afford do it all the time and i still eat meat and other miscellaneous bullshit. plus i drink and smoke a lot. i take comfort in that i'm young, but i swear i can see my body being 'shot to shit' right in front of me. Brad's diet sounds natural to me, not pretentious at all and his statement that 'everyone is a hypocrite' is also true.
hmm...what else, now? oh yeah, very good post, Carles. paragraphs 3 and 4 are the gist of it. when did the snarkiness get averted from the corporations to those the corporations fuck over?
@Brad,
thnk u 4 not 'talking like this'...
Thank you for talking like this.
I hope your choices remain progressive and with the best intentions, you're our only hope.
We are the fucked generation (via tao lin)
why so sincere
i'll join your commune.
maybe we need to let a whole generation of obese people fall by the wayside as a lesson to the rest of us.
I only eat fast food for hangovers. It really does cure a hangover.. somehow...
@I am the Psn Mouth, bk bacon egg+chese this monring was so taste walkin back from hookup girls place this morning
@chong, LOL WUT?
Whole Foods has cheap healthy food too (the instore brand '365') . You can use food stamps at Whole Foods. A lot of poor people aren't educated about it and live too far away from a Whole Foods or legit grocery store. If I ever get into the corporate side of Whole Foods I'll try to get them to consider opening up 365 corner stores in the ghetto. They might be worried about "diluting the brand" though.
Poor people do have some healthy food options that aren't too expensive, especially if you live around Middle Eastern, Indian, Asian, or Latin food stores, which is a good portion of the US. The problem is poor education on nutrition and lack of family stability and culture- people aren't sitting around the dinner table eating tasty food together, they're all off doing their own thing eating fast food and drinking HFCS.
@andrew, Not so big on the Whole Foods, Trader Joes is really where it's at.
@andrew, 'organic heathlty food' is just another trend. what is next is freeganism where there will be a big dumpster behind whle foods and tjoes and ctown where the 'alt' ppl will hunt/gather eventually 'the corporations' will get clued in and open a few chain dumpster locations in 'hip urban centers' whre enlish and graphic design majors can be more authentic by dumpst3r diving and hook up too
@fggt #113, yo dudes lets dig on some serous munchage down at the garbage bins dudes cheesin my weeee-e--esel
@fggt #113, i like freeganism. that sounds like a wonderful idea.
@fggt #113, <3 garbage eaters, so conscientious and political
Amen!
serious on the amen... sick of the snark... can't w'all just get alone, yall?
@dude, i want to get real and be alone for 5 days without blog access
@dude, i want to get real and be alone for 5 days without blog access
crls wut the fuck is happening in this comment section. sorry man but i think ur blog is dead
@bbbbb, there r less snarky comments than usual, this post made ev1 stop and think
Yeah, carles, stand up to the cyberbullies! [via ad council]
@kyda69, when r u going back 2 ur kkk rally? kill ur self and make the world a bttr place.
Here to represent Mississippi - we are FAT MOTHERFUCKERS down here.
is ppl of walmrt supposed to be 'funny cause it's ironic', or does it understand that it's a joke cause it's 'ironic'? I thnk it's weird that a blog exists where people who are 'cooler' and 'condescending towards corporate bullshit' submit fotos of people in wale-mart, while they themselves are also 'perpetuating corporate bullshit' by being in/around wale-mart themselves.
That guys blowing ass in the photo. (via the Mcdonalds he just ate inside)
@kyda69, not cool br... ur not my bro!
@vdieselfor20, cuz ur a racist
@vdieselfor20, u didn't "get" my "sarcasm".
That being said, god killed Kanye's mom for not having an abortion
@vdieselfor20,
no we got ur 'sarcasm'
it just wasnt funni, fggt
@vdieselfor20, obvs ur either a Kanye fan or a negro.
It was more of a swiftian sarcasm. But i guess they probably don't have to teach Johnathan Swift in blk public schools, otherwise youse brown ppls wouldn't get so offended by this blog
ARE U STILL IN VALLDA???
What is up with side ad via Tucker Max?
Feel like HRO has 'sold out'?
i shop at wal-mart because they have the 'lowest prices'
#1) Like it or not WalMart is the number one distributor for organic foods in the U.S. They carry Earthbound Farms, Amy's frozen/canned foods and bunch of other organic products by major companies (Heinz, Del Monte, Pace, etc.).
#2) The guy pictured looks like a lot of alts I see (most are overweight unless they are in bands, dating people in bands). The fact he's at Walmart is probably because it's becoming altmart in the post-credit economy.
#3) When someone complains about 'lack of options' I have to wonder, "Why don't you organize an alternative with people of your political persuasion?" Perhaps because you're more interested in easy bitching than the actual work of providing an alternative?
#4) Haven't you seen 'Idiocracy'? This is where the western world is headed. We're dumbing down, eating & entertaining ourselves to death with weapons of mass distraction like lab monkeys given control of their own morphine drip. But wouldn't the alternative (forced denial of self-destructive habits) be tyranny?
@Dinkus, I'll let you finish but beyonce made one of the best videos of the year.
OF THE YEAR.
@Brandon Ulrich, hahaha great interruption.
Saw one meme-ified version on YouTube feat. Mr. Obama.
<3 u Kanye, for continually destoying my faith in u.
@Dinkus, Sounds like you should read some Neil Postman.
START THE FUCKING COMMUNE CRLS !!! WE ALL WILL SHOW UP.
I once asked the lady who was working the register at Wal-Mart "who shops here at 3 AM?" She replied "mostly Crack Addicts."
I just want 4 walls with adobe slabz 4 my girlz.
sav-a-lot is sooo alt.

Feel like over population is a big deal.

@skzt,
i thought it was a woman too...the world may nvr no
phuq YES! want to do alt crafts like customizing my ameri-appy, fingerpaintin and smokin with carles
@kyda69, I don't think swift laughed at most of his sarcasm, it was more of a stinging, biting, remorseful sarcasm than an excuse to laugh at expired, ignorant jokes.
@kafkaBro, OH! YOU KNEW SWIFT??!?! You fucking jackass, it wasn't "stinging" or "remorseful", it was totally calculated. He played devil's advocate to prove a point, kind of like Colbert does (only Colbert is funnier by today's standards... but then again, humor is subjective) Pick up a fucking book and stop wikipedia-ing everything, you jackass.
@kyda69, lol, you're right I haven't read much swift. I did however, have to read "A modest proposal" in my high school world history class. As I recall, he used the absurdity of a proposal to eat babies to show how the Irish working class had no viable options for living a decent life and to illustrate the disconnect between the Bourgeois ruling class and the classes below. The imagery speaks a lot about the tragedy of human suffering and suggests the author's anger at the indifference of the Bourgeois. Also, I have to say that I agree with what Swift has to say about horses. Horses are totally sweet: they can run way faster than sprinters, way longer than marathoners, can carry a person on their back way longer than we can, and don't write shitheaded comments on the internet. Horses: 1, You: 0. Feel free to respond after you've run a couple furlongs.
@kyda69, haha okay dude, "As I recall".. Next time just give me the wiki link. Lets just say u win so I stop getting emails notifications
The obese generation won't end up killing themselves because they have healthcare. It allows them to get treated for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and some cancers. They consume pills and get surgeries to maintain their lifestyle. They aren't going anywhere.
I love shopping at wal*Mart. I shop there when I can. I believe in their cause, therefore I support it.
Clever. No really, I laughed.
I just had to point out for clarity sake and in case you are unaware of it, you are doing the very same thing you are railing against. It is very believable that you are, in fact, self-aware enough to realize this with the exception of your use of “inordinate amount of quotes” and that those quotes are used “incorrectly most of the time.” Perhaps this is not news to you but will be to others reading your site. Please continue doing what it is you're doing. It is helping the internet by leaps and bounds.
Just say’n.
It is certainly interesting
It is certainly interesting for me to read that blog. Thank you for it. I like such topics and anything connected to this matter. I definitely want to read more on that blog soon.
