People of Walmart and 4 Other Sites That Make Fun of Strangers

Elton John in Us Weekly: Too Hot for an Arkansas Grocery
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyArkansas has a way of making it onto the national stage -- and sometimes the publicity isn't very complimentary. The latest from Bill Clinton's home state: Harps grocery store in the small town of Mountain Home in northern Arkansas deemed a magazine story on gay singer Elton John to be obscene. The store placed gray "family shields" over copies of the Us Weekly magazine, which features the singer, his partner, and their new adopted baby. Printed on the shields were the words: "To protect our young shoppers." But the shields didn't stay up for long -- not after members of the Arkansas' GLBT ...

In fact, Mintel research found that a whopping 44 percent of grocery shoppers ...
