I remember reading their newsletter when I was younger (raised in a baptist/evangelical family) and I was sometimes amused by the amount of supposedly Satanic themes they could derive from benign television shows and media statements. I swear they would go after Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood if they felt that it could benefit their platform at all. This is nothing new and I suspect they will be doing this for years to come. Incidentally, regardless of Walmart's changing stance on the GLBTQ community, I still actively boycott them. They are still an opressively powerful corporate entity that takes vast liberties with local labor laws and kicks viable small businesses to the curb.
