LOL!!!
I despise, and I mean DESPISE Wal-Mart. If there were some other place around here that was comparable, I would never step foot in their parking lot, let alone their store again.
On the flip side of that, once I get in there, I can't leave in under an hour - no matter what I went there to buy. But, I don't see a contradiction there... Why? Because my real problem with them is the service when I go to leave. It's horrendous! Half the time, the only thing a cashier says to you is how much your change is. They also have no concept of scheduling - otherwise, I would not be in line for twenty minutes - one minute for every lane that is not open!
In that light, I think that the smiley should maybe be rolling his eyes and giving you the finger.
Should Wal-Mart change it's simley face logo to something with sharp teeth.. Like a vampire ?
That would seem more appropriate now wouldn't it?

Reply:I think we become vampires instead. That is, the smiley face becomes twisted-- it's meaning completely abused for the sake of an international corporation. So dialectically the symbol shifts in our mind.. of course there are lots of examples like this.. I think the "Happy Meal" at McDonald's is pretty notorious, and its cast of characters, happy and bright and full of life in such a way it's psychotic.
We become vampires, or say even a subset of people embrace the contrarian value set: Goth. It's actually in fashion in Japan now. But there you have it, there's a dominating culture which puts smiley faces under beeming flourescent lights in warehouses filled with waste and irate employees.. so a subculture forms to take opposing values-- instead of the day which is tyrannical, oppressive (everyone has school or works), even the sun burns our skin-- the night is valued, all the romantic metaphors apply. It's about coming to love that darkness as a place of freedom from the psychotic lies of happiness and consumerism, of coming to actually LIVE in that contradictory place -- the cold and empty, using the time that others have for passive dreaming to dance, to be wild, to expose yourself and display your energy. Of course it's hopelessly contrarian and just part of the machine~~ I'm not painting my nails anytime soon, but I understand the need for a style of the night.
