WalMart to obscure covers of women's magazines.
The company is testing binders that will cover the magazines' photos
and language, spokesman Tom Williams said at the company's annual
shareholders meeting Friday. Women's fashion magazines often tout
sex tips and can feature revealing photos of models and celebrities.
Watch for cheap polyester burkas to start appearing on the racks. I wonder if that Florida judge who ruled that the Muslim woman must have her face photographed for her drivers licence will run into flack when the WalMart shoppers start complaining about exposed flesh on official documents?
