Now At Wal-Mart: Upload Your Photos Directly to National Media, Beverage Containers
It’s been a big day for Wal-Mart photo centers. Early this morning, news broke that an employee at a Louisiana Walmart store stole compromising photos of Jamie Lynn Spears, with intent to sell the images to the media. Because Jamie Lynn is a minor, and because getting your personal photos copied and sold by your photo developer is creepy, Wal-Mart could potentially face penalties for the act.
But that’s not all. News ALSO comes today that the retailer has partnered with Jones Soda, maker of delicious and unusually-flavored colas, to let customers order custom-printed soda cans at Wal-Mart photo centers. Just when you thought you’d never find soda packaging that embodied your life outlook, Jones Soda has made it possible.
We really hope these two events aren’t somehow connected. It’s bad enough that stories about Jamie Lynn flooded our Google alerts this morning: it’d be even worse if we have to see her staring out at us from the soda case at the deli, too. And for those of you interested, you don’t have to go to a Wal-Mart to get your face on a Jones soda can: you can order a six-pack right on their website, and yes, we’re planning to get a case.

So,
I guess with all the tainted Chinese milk products, the label looks like they’ve had to go to soda pop for the babies…
