JibJab Strikes Again

From Wal-Mart Watch:
There's less than a month left until Wal-Mart Watch's Higher Expectations Week, but the heat is already turning up on Wal-Mart as activists are pressuring the big box giant to reform its negative business practices. The criticism got sizzling last week on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno when political satirists JibJab premiered their new animation Big Box Mart. Wal-Mart isn't mentioned by name, but the inspiration for the satire is clear. During the past election, JibJab's political parodies were seen over 80 million times, turning JibJab into an overnight household brand.

Big Box Mart tells the story an unsuspecting consumer who learns an economic lesson the hard way when his high-skilled factory job is shipped overseas to accommodate the "everyday low prices" he's come to expect from his favorite retailer. At the end of the song, the only work he can find is as a janitor at Big Box Mart. Visit our website to see it for yourself and make sure to spread the word to your family and friends.

Wal-Mart is being taken to task on the big screen as well. Trailers for Robert Greenwald's upcoming documentary WALMART: The High Cost of Low Price are being shown in movie theaters in Los Angeles and New York. The documentary will premiere during Higher Expectations Week (November 13-19), a national week of action sponsored by Wal-Mart Watch and more than 400 national and local organizations. Hundreds of events in 32 states are already planned with more being added daily. Make sure you are registered on our website to find out about events in your area.
