The People of Walmart

During my little spare time, I usually like to explore new sites and pictures and videos from around the globe.Lately, my main focus has been politics and international relations, such as the situation in Egypt, Tunisia and now Libya. This past long weekend though, I came across this site called "The People of Walmart." My first thought was "THIS IS COMPLETELY FREAKY!" When we go shopping, usually around Black Friday- when people stay up late or wake up very early in the morning to get the best deals on electronic devices, clothing, etc- we see many customers wearing their pajamas or as if they just crawled out of bed, grabbed their wallets and hit the stores! But this! this is scary!, what it is portrayed in this site are DAILY PICTURES of Walmart customers doing shopping. Some of them are funny, some of them are so gross that some people might even feel nauseous if they take a look at them. But I found one in particular in which a young-looking mom is buying plastic bins, laundry basket and piling everything on her cart, where her small son (around 3 years old) is sitting, being smashed by these items. Is this possible? Did anybody say anything to this woman?, like a "Hey! You are smashing your child with all your containers and cleaning products."
Here is a link to the site and the picture ( see above) I am talking about.

This site as you can see, really caught my attention. It's interesting to see what mid America looks like, right? :S
