Wal-Mart Bans bin Laden "Lookalike"
Oscar 'Bin Laden': How Wal-Mart Banned a Terrorist Look-Alike: "Wal-Mart is making life difficult for Oscar Brufani, a 52-year-old man who makes his living delivering potato chips in Buenos Aires. One of the corporation's store managers thinks he looks like Osama bin Laden -- and won't let him come near her store."
But he really doesn't look like Osama bin Laden at all, not to me. Sure, he's a long beard but his skin is lighter, his eyes are softer and he doesn't have those big ol' ears.
Nice work, Wal-Mart, making friends by demonstrating overt and lame racism! Woot!
