Wal-Mart Refuses Bestselling Daily Show Book

Posted on October 22, 2004

America: The Book, the incredibly popular book by John stewart and the cast of The Daily Show, has been banned from Wal-Mart's shelves.

Wal-Mart finds the naked Supreme Court photographs in the book too offensive for Wal-Mart shoppers. However, the photos are obvious fakes created with graphics software.

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Karen Burk told USA Today that, "We felt a majority of our customers would not be comfortable with the image of the naked justices."
