      Walmart Sells Nazi Skull Tshirt

      Backstory.
      UPDATE: Walmart Apologizes, Removes Shirts
      UPDATE: Compare & Contrast T-shirt with original insignia

      A blogger alleges Walmart is selling tshirts bearing Nazi iconography. The shirt shows a skull which is a perfect reproduction of the same insignia used by the Nazi 3rd SS Division Totenkopf during WWII.

      The blogger who caught this image with his camera phone doesn't believe that Walmart is purposefully selling Nazi paraphernalia and didn't check to see who manufactured the shirt. It's uncertain how "1978" fits.

      Our bets are on a hack designer Googling for skull pix, or a very subversive designer. Either way, heads will roll. — MEGHANN MARCO
