People Of Walmart

People of Walmart is a satirical blog that features photos of Wal-Mart shoppers.http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/about-the-people.php

The blog describes itself as "strictly limited to the outrageously bad / ugly / creepy / crazy shoppers."http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/about-the-people.php

The website launched in August 2009 by three roommates who were inspired by a trip to Walmart of their own.http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/?page_id=12 It has since become wildly popular, attracting thousands of visitors, ranking in the top 1,000 sites in the United States and gaining over 400,000 Facebook fans.http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/peopleofwalmart.com?p=tgraph&r=home_home http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

Users can take their own photos of interesting people they see at Wal-Mart and submit the photos to the site along with the location of the sighting. The blog often offers a variety of contests for the best photos, including those that offer a $100 gift card to Wal-Mart for the best photos.http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

Fans of the site can also purchase t-shirts and other tiems with the People of Walmart logo and those featuring images featured on the site.http://store.peopleofwm.com/

Many of the photos feature people wearing odd items of clothing or costumes. Similarly, some photos show people with unique hairstyles and larger individuals wearing very revealing clothing. The majority of the photos are taken candidly, without the knowledge of the subject, however once in a while people will pose for the photo. Occasionally photos of famous people shopping at Wal-Mart will appear on the website, including disgraced National Football League quarterback Michael Vick and Public Enemy rapper Flavor Flav.http://www.peopleofwalmart.com
