Arrogant Worms have a sketch about a Mountie getting accosted by US tourists:

"Where do you keep all those guns?"
"In our tank."
"You have a tank??"
"We didn't WALK here!"
"Where did you get a tank?"
"Wal-Mart"

Oh oh. There's a career killer for Arrogant Worms. Sheryl Crow CD's were
banished from WalMart for a time due to a similar, one-line reference to the
chain.


He He...First, it's funny to see "career" and "Arrogant Worms" in the same
sentence. But more seriously, WalMart doesn't have the impact here in Canada
that is does in the US. A news story saying WalMart is refusing to carry an
Arrogant Worms CD would probably be a major boost in their "career".

Now, of Sams, or A&B Sound, or even Superstore or Costco refused, that would be
a different story...
