You wanna do business? Sammy wants his cut.

Target is way better.
Clearly they are Devil's Spawn.Reverend Wally said:Except maybe for the fact that WalMart is a US company, and Target is a French company, also anti-community, anti-Christian

mashny said:Apple, in effect, is paying Wal-Mart for the "privilege" of being allowed to carry on its daily business. I don't see any other way of looking at the situation.
jamesi said:eh, i would prefer is apple would give them the finger and just challenge the giant. apple could cut alot of wal marts profits, heck the movement is going towards all media being sent directly to your tv/comp at home anyways
squirrellydw said:Maybe Apple can back out of the deal later when everyone is downloading the movies
mdntcallr said:which doesnt sound right to me, cause warners and universal already have deals for movies with alternate online stores.

Disclaimer: I am not saying that the WalMart company is comprised of angels, just that Target is a foreign owned company here in the US and should be horse whipped.
BTW .... Yes .... I don't care for Target....just in case you haven't figured that out.
You do realize that most of the people who make money off of Target are not foreign? The CEO isn't even French and most of the employees are American, not to mention the shareholders. I seriously hope you would rather shop at Target than at Walmart simply for the fact that it isn't crowded and you can actually find things.Reverend Wally said:Except maybe for the fact that WalMart is a US company, and Target is a French company, also anti-community, anti-Christian, and generally hey employ a bunch of stupid morons to work for them, plus security guards that look either obese or anemic and could be flattened by striking them with a feather duster.

snopes.com said:The Target Corporation is a publicly held, U.S.-based firm which has been headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, since it began as the Dayton Dry Goods Company in 1902. Target is not now, nor has it ever been, foreign-owned. (A French-based financial institution, AXA, holds about 42 million shares of Target stock, but that holding constitutes less than 5% of Target Corporation's outstanding shares.)
crayzd said:It is interesting that a company, such as Apple, which attempts to be socially responsible would ever fathom a partnership with an unethical and immoral company such as Wal-Mart.
