I work for the culprit :c

adorable drawing though!

SHAME ON YOU!

And thanks anyway.

Right. You seen the documentary about their imposing business, right?

At least they don't make Walmart look the kind you'd expect to be funded by primary election candidates.

That documentary was filled entirely with slander, urban myth and exaggeration painted as fact. It was about as factually accurate as Super Size Me.

And yet because of that film, along with real life complaints, there no longer is the Super-Size option at McDonald's AND they print the nutrition facts right there on the food containers rather than havie it all on some hidden poster.

Yeah, because the film demonized them and generated fear through some guy's intentional goal to make himself sick and unfit through gorging on more food than any normal human being would eat there. He even went as far as claiming that McDonald's stated goal was to make people unhealthy, that they've got some evil plot to hook kids on their food through toys, that fat people somehow don't have a sex drive, and even conducted some hack experiment to try and prove that there's something suspicious about the fries {all he really concluded is that McDonald's fries have enough salt added that they won't rot in an airtight jar}. The guy makes Michael Moore look unbiased and professional.

Though I guess it also doesn't help that there really were and still are total morons who eat there several times a day and then sue McDonald's. Guess what, people? It's not the establishment's fault that you ate half a million Big Macs and got fat.

Not around here. Lakeforest Mall was built around residental and commerical property and is often packed.

A Simon Mall, eh? Well, at least that mall's under shrewd ownership of a big company.

There's about 5 malls in Pittburh here owned by Simon, yet some of their business is hinderd by Walmart stores. But the BEST mall that has stayed on top is the famous Monroville Mall! Thank you, George A. Romero! ^_^

That's actually because there's only 2 Wal-Marts in the entire county (Germantown and Mt. Airy). The county passed a law limiting Wal-Mart from opening stores willy-nilly. Not many Costcos either. Just 1 in the county.

I noticed that malls aren't really busy anymore, the one in my city isn't since not many people are buying, and the rent for businesses in my city is expensive.

I'd blame Walmart.

That doesn't apply to where I live. Humboldt County doesn't have a Wal-Mart.

LOL at the Robin-Baskin's sign. I find that sign strangely hilarious.

Well, it's a fictional and mirrored variation of the real ice cream venue. Nothing more.

My hometown has several malls and several Walmarts, all equally packed every day. Walmart poses no threat to malls, the concern is the threat they pose to small business directly competing with local Walmarts.

Ally looks amazing in that dress

Yeah. Pink is quite a break from wearing blue all the time, eh?

Malls are dying in America??? Malls are pretty much the most American things on the planet! And what is Walmart? I hear about it occassionally on American TV shows but what is it exactly?

Anyway, yes this is pretty good, I find the height difference particularly odd, but in a good way of course.

I know. Walmart is to malls and independant businesses, as the old British Empire was to India and China. Walmart is tainted by oblivious and reckless ambition, if not greed.

I ironic part is China makes 99% of the products Walmart sells today. And you think the old British occupation was harsh?

Sounds evil, like Primark (clothes shop that sells stuff for next to nothing by buying goods from Indian sweatshops)

Or Marshall's, or JCPenny's, or even KMart for crying out loud! And as you and I know very well from the most famous autistic savant of all:

KMART SUCKS.

Well, in Newcastle, UK, where I live, mall-like things aren't exactly common... And the US Walmart owns the UK Asda...

Nonetheless, the picture really does look guuuuuuuurd. I like the massive contrast between them both.

Thanks. And that's interesting the way "Wally-World" has a hold there in the UK.

And I am aware that the size difference between Allt and Teddy is odd, yet if you consider the... social heirarchy between men and women, the woman always gets the priviledge to decide whether a relationship should be or not be. All men have to do is work on keeping that relationship healthy, giving the woman a reason to stick with him.

So in a way, the size difference here is an exaggeration of that social reality. Am I right?

Eh? If a relationship were to work on that basis then clearly it's a relationship not worth having. I mean it should be more about two people who care for each other spending as much time as possible together, not about one desperately trying to keep winning over another. That's more like how High-School works.

Really? Well at least what you're saying is the latter result of the effort I described before...

cute drawing, I wish I had a friend like Ally to hang out with

Believe me, the initial meeting of these two was not easy. Trust me.

oh believe me i do

i love malls. What other place can you get a sugar rush and go from one side to the other with AC and snacks?

Discovery Zone? Chuck E Cheese? Camelot Family Fun center?

correction: A place to get a rush, shop for clothes, toys, games, etc. find a new pet while going from one side to the other

I don't know. Downtown Tokyo?
