Walmart Is Mad At The Consumerist
Earlier this summer, we did an interview with the No Respect! podcast. They asked us about The Consumerist in general and Walmart in particular.

After a series of disapariging posts, Mike wanted to meet up with us for drinks. He opened the meeting with, "This is all off the record." The next thing out of his mouth was, "What can we do to get you to stop writing about our companies?" You can hear more about it in this episode of the No Respect! podcast. More » -

iPod Porn To Turn Children Into Sex-Fiends
Man, the iPod just can't catch a break lately. First, Pete Townshend makes the device synonymous with irreversible hearing loss. Then some Cajun idiot decides to sue Apple over the potential of it making him deaf. And now, the National Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families, a Cincinnati-based pornography watchdog group, has raised the concern that the ability to watch porn on an iPod will make our nation's children slavering masturbation addicts: dead-eyed zombies who feast for porn, shambling around and constantly jerking their deformed, claw-like hands about in their pockets when octogenarians pass them on the street.
