Highlights from the article
A Conyers, Ga., man has won a two-year legal battle with Wal-Mart, which has demanded he stop making and selling T-shirts, beer steins and other items that sport slogans such as "Wal-ocaust" and "Wal-Qaeda."
The judge noted that Smith had sold only 62 T-shirts, including 15 to one of Wal-Mart's outside law firms.
One design shows a bird resembling a Nazi eagle grasping the yellow smiley face in its talons, similar to depictions of the Nazi eagle clutching a swastika. Another reads, I ♥ WALHOCAUST. They have FAMILY VALUES, and their ALCOHOL, TOBACCO and FIREARMS are 20% OFF. A third proclaims, WALHOCAUST: Come in for the LOW prices, stay for the KNIFE fights.
