Corporations Helping Corporations
Most of the time we think corporations are bad news exploiting workers, over charging for merchandise, and offering poor customer service. But we felt bad last year when we heard Toys R Us was being threatend by Walmart. This could be because we hate Walmart, or because Toys R Us is right here in New Jersey, or maybe just because we really, really like toys.
But anyway, as it turns out, toy makers are offering to help out Toys R Us this holiday season. It seems Toys R Us may not have survived after this christmas without the extra help. Toy makers don't want to see Toys R Us go away since Walmart won't carry all the toys.
Walmart as Monopoly
We've said it before. Walmart's power is astronomical, from censoring movies and music, books and magazines, to family planning options. Obviosuly, toy makers are concerned what a Walmart only world would do to them. We're still not sure how Microsoft violated anti-trust laws and Walmart hasn't. [though we suspect a search through political contributions may help us understand].
We wish Toys R Us the best of luck, if for no other reason, except that we hate Walmart.

Excellent post! I agree, I hate Wal Mart, too, so wish Toys R Us the best.
walmart always beats my store out in dvd prices.
i hope they burn. oooh. burn.!
Nice post. While we are talking about hating mass retailers, target is not going to let the salvation army ring its bell this outside of its stores this season.
TOY's stock price was going to shit this year until the "wal*mart is kicking our ass announcement," and then investors realized TOY would become a real estate company, just like what happened with K-Mart
She Who Shall Not Be Named used to work for Toys R' Us. We shall not speak of it again.
