Wal-Mart deals with pair of snafus to start 2006 - Jan. 6, 2006

I thought this was an April fool, until I realised that it was still early January and a little early for such frolics.

Second problem doesn't seem that bad to me, but the first one - wow (especially over here).

Wal-Mart is ringing in the new year with a pair of snafus.

The retail giant apologized Thursday after its Web site directed buyers of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Planet of the Apes" DVDs to consider DVDs with African American themes.

The company said it would shut down its cross-selling system until the problem was resolved.
