Situation: People of Wal Mart !

Some people just have the knack at making things work. WWho would have thought that a website that invites users to send in embarrassing pictures of Wal-Mart customers would become such a hit. The website People of Wal Mart is barely a month old but it is now getting too much traffic that it crashed on Tuesday. Now I tried to access the site a while ago but it is again down, probably because too many people are trying to access it at this time.

Why is the site so hot now? Probably we can glean the answer from the manifesto of the three men who authored People of Wal Mart :

“People of Walmart was founded in August of 2009 by three friends and roommates after an inspirational trip to WalMart. Let’s face it; we all have seen the people who obviously don’t have mirrors and/or family and friends to lock them in a basement, and they all seem to congregate at Walmart. It’s not everywhere that you can shop for milk at 10 a.m. next to a 400lb mother of 6 wearing a pink tube top, leopard tights, and hooker heels”
