These are pictures from a new website www.peopleofwalmart.com.
Three friends created the website after an inspirational trip to the chain store.
Funny or a lawsuit waiting to happen? Tell us what you think.
Below is a disclaimer that was placed on the blog
This site is NOT in anyway affiliated with Wal-Mart. If you are looking for Wal-mart’s official website you can find it by clicking here
We personally have nothing against Wal-mart. We, along with most of America, shop at Wal-mart for nearly everything we need. This site is simply a satirical social commentary of the extraordinary sights found at America’s favorite store. Wal-mart is Americana baby, Enjoy!
People of Walmart was founded in August of 2009 by three friends and roommates after an inspirational trip to WalMart.
Let’s face it; we all have seen the people who obviously don’t have mirrors and/or family and friends to lock them in a basement, and they all seem to congregate at Walmart. It’s not everywhere that you can shop for milk at 10 a.m. next to a 400lb mother of 6 wearing a pink tube top, leopard tights, and hooker heels. Where else can one go to pick up underwear at 3 O’clock in the afternoon and spot the greatest mullet of all time paired with a mustard stained wife beater (which only accents the extreme amount of body hair) and camo pants that were actually used in Vietnam. And if you haven’t run into the 6’2” bull-dyke with a shaved head, rockin a wonder bra, flannel cutoff shirt, and jean shorts at 2 a.m. when you’re there to pick up frozen pizza, chips, and cookies, then you can get the fuck out right now.
This is purely for entertainment purposes and strictly limited to the outrageously bad / ugly / creepy / crazy shoppers. We don’t need to see pictures of you and your dumb friends dicking around at Walmart. There is no reason to send us pictures of people that are seriously and unfortunately handicapped so don’t be an asshole. We are trying to have some fun here and there is a difference between someone who is mentally challenged and a person who has a fu Manchu and is still rocking MC Hammer pants.
We would also like to stress that we are in no way liable if you get your ass beat by Bubba when he catches you taking his picture. Have fun, and Enjoy!

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackPeople of WalMart is yet another tech-enabled invasion of privacy. What happens in town X should stay in town X.
Karma would be the photographers seeing themselves on the site on their bad days, unless they are the Beautiful People.
This site is harmless, but they should distort anybody’s face out at least to respect their rights to local privacy.
i love it!
Here’s an idea: The VIEWER’S of this seemingly controversial website should be sued. If no one LOOKS, then tghe site dies. Apparently the site owners are providing a useful public service. Let’s all try to allow freedom to EVERYone, not just to the people who think like we do. Nanny types are always telling everyone else what to do. If it offends YOU (just like the OFF button on the TV) don’t go there. My computer only does what I tell it to do. I can’t imagine what harm will come to the viewers OR the “victims” of this website. Grow up and leave your noses out of everybody elses business.
it can be considered cyberbullying…and we think children are the only ones who are childish? I guess everyone has a chance to be featured on here because unless u dont have a bad day at all, always wear your best, make sure you have lots of money to buy the best of everything,you could be next…or your mom could, or your child. If its a skinny ass woman with her ass hangin out…its hot, but if ur a little heavy, you get on the website, reguardless if you just had a baby the week before or maybe you just left a bad situation with only the clothes on your back…HA HA, funny right? people who love this need to try filling the voids in their life with something better. I definetely see some sort of lawsuit, especially since nothing is done to respect their privacy and the harrassment. Sad..really sad
Honestly. They have a store on the website that has the same logo on their merchandise that is tagged on every single photo they post. Which would make it illegal… correct? It is my understanding that it is fine/legal to take photos of people/strangers/children – But if you use them to make money. Which I believe ‘People of Wal*Mart’ IS doing. I think that there should be a lawsuit.
I wonder how many of Wal Marts loyal customers, Families and non trust fund ‘babies’ will no longer show their faces within a wal mart knowing that there are well.. ‘snobs’ taking their photographs to be posted and humiliated on a global level.
How many of the people being tormented are handicap – mentally disabled – flat out senile, in a severe state of depression to begin with?
The biggest argument I have seen on forums concerning this issue would be “Well they should learn how to dress ‘normal’” – People actually defending bullying? Obviously the people defending this site and type of behavior have a lot of ‘growing up’ to do. I am disgusted by this website. Not because of the photos though. I can honestly say I believe the people posting and supporting this site are uglier and more disturbing than any picture posted.
Maybe people should take some pride in their appearance. I don’t want to look at your ass crack when I’m shopping with my kids. Our society has become so lazy and slobbish, maybe if people see themselves they could have a new perspective. I’m not saying I’m perfect, but I don’t walk around in public making an eye sore for others, with my gut and underwear hanging out or clothing that are obviously to small or big for my body. Obesity is a serious problem in this country, if people took pride in themselves, their appearance and their health we wouldn’t have this question posed to use.
