Wal-Mart’s drive to be more stylish and hip continues as they revamp displays and selection in their electronics department (also), adding the iPod line to their offerings … but I think this may be going a bit too far. According to a report from AdAge.com:
“In an effort to boost its fashion credibility, Wal-Mart is reportedly considering the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger.”
Really? Are they going to keep him in a cage? Make him wear one of those blue smocks? Or will he be redesigning the blue smocks for all greeters, thereby making them fashionistas?
I know Wal-Mart has often been criticized for their working conditions and employee management, but buying Tommy Hilfiger? Why, that’s just CRAZY!
Although I’m no Tommy Hilfiger fan, I must say: Run, Tommy, Run! Before you know it Kathie Lee will be standing over you with a bullwhip, and no one wants that.
So instead of watching out for falling prices, are we supposed to look out for Tommy Hilfiger?
I can’t keep up with Wal-Mart. It is too much for me.
Is it becoming too big?
Yes. And you know what that means.
