I agree. The irony is amusing. Question: What is the scale here? Are these "shot glasses" the size of a highball tumbler? I'm imagining they're about 10-12 oz based on my eyeball comparison to the "sweater shaver" in the upper right corner of the top picture. **OBVIOUSLY** no one could "shoot" that much liquor, so the complaint is that they're being advertised as shot glasses. How dumb.
Well, maybe not dumb. The eldest SonofV awoke this morning for the first time in his dorm room. I consistently miss the mark on how together kids that age can be. For the record, I miss both high and low. I watched the CNN Money hour yesterday and one of the segments talked about marketing credit cards to college students. The point was that the trend in the industry is away from making money by offering credit to those who can easily pay (business people, back in the day) and toward those who cannot pay as easily, like college kids. No jobs, strong desire to spend beyond their means, inexperience with credit, money, budgeting, etc. I recognize the sad fact that I am a graybearded, dust-farting senile old fossil whose own college experience has no bearing on the modern era whatsoever, but, seriously. Kids, wait, young adults of legal drinking age are pouring shots in vessels like this? And W*lm*rt is hawking them as school supplies. Hawhawhaw.
You're not the only person to take issue with W*lm*rt and schools.
Here's a story about the local teacher's union's complaint of the company's "anti-education policies", and a call to action.
