Is People of Walmart the Best Website Ever?

Yes, yes, a million times yes. People of Walmart is possibly the best website in the history of websites. In fact, the willpower that I, the Truemorist, am showing by taking the time to inform you, the people, of this veritable internet ecstasy is insane. It's valuable time that I could be spending ogling over the hilarity manifest that is peopleofwalmart.com.

Nay, you must be thinking, Twitter is brilliant or Facebook is my life. But to you nay-thinkers I say nay right back. People of Walmart is not only a source of the most raw, stunning, inglorious individuals on the internet but let's take it deeper, the site makes you feel good about yourself. No need for a therapist, just a simple click and any woes about yourself you may have had are immediately expelled.

Think of it like awkward family photos, or look at this fucking hipster, et al. only these people are universally, in America at least, tangible. The stunningly grotesque creatures live all over but their true colors shine in the megastore's light and peopleofwalmart.com showcases this.

Let’s face it; we all have seen the people who obviously don’t have mirrors and/or family and friends to lock them in a basement, and they all seem to congregate at Walmart. It’s not everywhere that you can shop for milk at 10 a.m. next to a 400lb mother of 6 wearing a pink tube top, leopard tights, and hooker heels. Where else can one go to pick up underwear at 3 O’clock in the afternoon and spot the greatest mullet of all time paired with a mustard stained wife beater (which only accents the extreme amount of body hair) and camo pants that were actually used in Vietnam. And if you haven’t ran into the 6’2” bull-dyke with a shaved head, rockin a wonder bra, flannel cutoff shirt, and jean shorts at 2 a.m. when your there to pick up frozen pizza, Doritos, and Chips Ahoy cookies, then you can get the fuck out right now.

Submit your photos and be a part of the best website ever, please.

I say kudos and have every intention of nominating People of Walmart for a Pulitzer. Thank you.

I think that People of Walmart is a sad way to make fun of poor people. These people are dressed that way because they're poor, and from depressed areas. It's just classist mocking. You would not think it was the best-thing-evar if the people were non-white.

I have to agree with most of your comment. It just seems like a new way for douchebags to make fun of slobs and other people they consider "lesser" than them. Judging from the pictures the site creators posted on facebook, the actual site can't possibly be entertaining for more than 30 seconds--let alone entertaining enough to earn the rave reviews it's been getting--unless you're a complete idiot with nothing better to do, and more than likely the tools mocking the "stupid" Wal Mart customers aren't terribly intelligent either. Blah, just another crappy form of entertainment for the vapid facebook crowd.

You can be "poor" and not dress like a slob or wear outrageous outfits. Honestly someone that is 300+ lbs shouldnt be in spandex.

sometimes, people can't help it. That's all they have to wear. You people are so rude. I hope you loose all your money and can't even afford walmart and then see how funny that site is. You need to go die in a hole.

You are assuming that everyone whose picture is on People of Walmart is poor. Whose are you calling classist? Look in the mirror.

Are you serious? Why does a man wearing daisy dukes mean he is poor?? Do any of these pictures have I'm poor written on them? I think you, Merci, are the one with a small mind thinking that just because these people are wearing insane things that they are poor. Are you saying that they are undereducated because they are poor which is what caused them to go out in public dressed like that? They should find some garage sales... I bet for about 25 cents they could buy a shirt that covers them completely!!

That is absolutely not true. I can't even dignify your note with a full response. They don't dress in a gold, plastic jumpsuit because they are poor. They dress that way because they choose to dress that way. There are plenty of poor people but that doesn't justify a size 10 outfit when they need a size 20. There are plenty of size 20 outfits for the same price at Wal Mart.

If you took 5 minutes to google any information about this site, you'll find that the guys who run the website are pretty up-front about the fact that they, themselves, do a fair amount of shopping at Wal Mart themselves. They hardly seem to be elitist snobs in any way.

Who says that poor people can't have clean clothing, or at least wear some? I know people who make a lot more money than I do, yet go shopping in a pair of pajama pants and a dirty sweatshirt. Who's to say it is about socioeconomic status, and not about how a person chooses to present oneself?

Please - it's not funny because people are wearing sweatshirts. These people, who the site refers to as "Walcreatures" (not even human, really?) are missing TEETH. Also, do you know how expensive clothes washers are? Or how expensive the Laundromat can be when you're the working poor? Or how entrenched those generations of poverty are?Keep this kind of crap to GoFugYourself, please.

Are you kidding me? Did you actually look at the pictures? It doesn't cost anything to wear less make-up. And I think it's safe to assume the chick whose @ss was falling out actually owns at least one pair of pants (or a skirt, or whatever) she could have worn. This is not about making fun of poor people.

krashr.com/2009/08/the-people-of-wal-mart/I think it is a great site. Sure, some of the people posted on the site are poor and might not be able to afford decent clothes but most choose to live with mullets and therefore should be made fun of.

It's amazing what you can find on the Internet. Of course I buy all my clothes at yard sales, so I shouldn't talk!

WalMart caters to the uneducated, lower income, socio economic group! Notice, I did not say Redneck, (for I am a Redneck too!). Walmart has made a living of selling cheap made crap to these uneducated people. They get new "looking" items and WalMart makes another buck! The issue I have with WalMart is NOT that they make money selling cheap crap, but rather there are so many uneducated people in this world who purchase their crap!!

the problem is that you cann't receive a college degree watching T.V., playing video games, smoking dope/doing drugs, having sex/procreation, not washing (body and clothes) and eating fast food. when your brain dead with the I.Q. of three less than a paving block (which is in the garden shop). your ability to succede or acheive mediocrate in life is certainly going to be detoured.

Even worse, as Walmart sales increase so does the number of our youth who are forced to delay or forego their aspirations of college and career. Perhaps if their parents had stopped shopping at Walmart when they were infants, they'd still have those formerly cushy blue collar manufacturing jobs with benefits. Just because something is cheap, doesn't mean it is a bargain.

These people should be used by the C.D.C. in atlanta for experimentation, including D.N.A. testing to see if the're even human beings (including tootless). i not sure if a Walcreature qualify s as a primate or higher on the socio-economic scale. thank god and the police they cann't afford to cruise or live in my neighborhood, not even on halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm....judging by the spelling and grammatical errors in the comments, it's not a giant leap to assume that some of those making derogatory remarks may be doing so to camouflage the fact that they themselves are Walcreatures. (I'm hoping that the site is repaired soon, as I haven't been able to access it and am anxious to see if it is as amusing as those crazy captioned Olan Mills photos from a while back.)

I manage a large-chain restaurant in a rural city outside of Atlanta. A few hundred yards away lies as large a Wal-Mart as you will find anywhere. Enough nutjobs wander into my place to seriously bring down my perspective of the general public, but when I venture into Wallyworld I feel as though I enter an alternate dimension. Not to say that the majority of their customers are bad people in any way. Most of their patrons seem normal enough, yet an inordinate percentage of them appear as characters from some imagined horrorshow of humanity that puts to shame that which I was a part of growing up in a backwards Alabama town of less than 4,000. In all seriousness, I leave my local Wal-Mart with a feeling of unease and concern for the future of our society in America. I am friends with people like these. I have family that are like these people. These are not the harbingers of a brighter tomorrow.

If you enjoy People of Walmart, you'd probably get a kick out of this song about the People of Walmart who work there. It's my account of my coworkers during my time there in the 90's in Buford, GA. dstriker.bandcamp.com/track/im-hungover-in-the-wal-mart-breakroom

I have to admit, although I do feel bad for many of the people on the site it gives me a good laugh. I live in an affluent neighbourhood and there are many walmarts around me. I love shopping at wal-mart because I can get most of the stuff I need in one place. But unlike many people I see at wal-mart I actually care about my appearance. Many people have made comments saying this site is just about making fun of the poor. Just because you're poor doesnt mean you should have nails to the floor, or have a sign that says "do not touch baby". This site is making fun of people who do ridiculous things.

I agree with you - although I haven't seen people at the Walmart in my hometown area dress to that extent - *maybe I just am not there at the right time and day..* I also take general care in how I am dressed any time I go out in public, in my opinion of what is decently respectable attire to be seen...and I agree totally that being poor does not mean you have to dress outrageously skanky etc.. When I was a young child, my parents struggled financially for many years until later when life got better for them/us. But during that time of struggling, we dressed "appropriately" in public. Maybe not expensively, but you can still keep your private parts from doing a free for all show. Being without much money does not mean you can't dress appropriately for a shopping trip to Walmart. I think it is more of a widespread perspective of a growing percentage of the population - ie; how to dress in public, what is "generally" acceptable, decent, respectable etc...that perspective itself in a wide range, has changed so much from generations past. What was absolutely no can do in the past, is now being marketed in so much of media as the 'norm' almost! But I suppose the beauty of it all if any, is that this is still America...and if not anything else, the freedom to express one's own style *lol*...is still a freedom practiced...be it your rear end hanging out to view or makeup that resembles the Rocky Horror Picture Show...lol..

Simple response - dont be poor and you wont end up on this webpage as a joke. These types of people should be made fun of, maybe that will motivate them to get off their asses and get a better job, or maybe stop having so many kids....

I've read most of the comments and can't believe the "do-gooder" BS being posted. Holy SH#T, are you trying to tell me that a 70 year old man with "soft and supple breast implants" isn't funny? IT'S FREAKIN' HILARIOUS!!! If you're not laughing, it's simply because you are either a self-righteous retard or a drone without a pulse. Thankfully, there are people who equally find it as funny as me and will continue to submit photos for me to laugh at. I love it and I feel absolutely no shame in saying so. If you don't like the website, then don't look at it.

There's something inherently wrong in laughing at not only the impoverished, but also the mentally ill. Think about it, what person in their "right" or of "sound" mind, would dress in the manner that you assholes think is funny?

Read comments from "Eat Me" above. There is something wrong with you and the others that take this stuff so seriously. If you can't find a shred of humor in this material, it's simply because you are wound WAY too tight - simply stated: you're a F'ing Idiot. Charles Darwin coined a theory for guy's like you - it's called "Natural Selection". So, why don't you help out the natural selection process and step in front of a fast moving bus, that way the rest of us WITH a normal sense of humor can laugh at the irony of it. Just a suggestion... I welcome your next retarted comment...
