That's not a shirt, it's obviously a cape, and this a clearly an off-duty superhero.

There was a law repealed a few months ago due to sexual discrimination - the women were complaining that men could go topless but women can't.

Unfortunately, the law got repealed, rather than making it so no one can go topless.

The people you want to see topless aren't, but the people who are topless... let's say this guy is among the better looking. Nothing sears into the eyes faster than a guy walking down the street with the flab wobbling.

"No shirt no shoes no service" now needs to be qualified as to what the definition of a shirt is. Perhaps we could define a shirt as X weight of cloth per Y inches of height or X square inches of cloth per Y inches of height.

LMBAO!!!

I cant see the front of the shirt, are there 3 wolves howling at the moon?

@SudeepaBriseus: Yet a republican wouldn't be caught dead socializing with the likes of him other that to con him into voting for them, remember, republicans party was always about capitalism and pushing a dream where their main constituents can believe in but can never ever partake in.

@Jrsy Devil's Food

The property isn't public if the corp can ban you from coming back... It's called a Persona Non-Grata. In layman's terms: "This person is not granted access." I work in retail.

@Carl Everett, Jurassic Park Tour Guide.: "Don't drag the rest of us down because of your inability to appropriatley handle "potentially insensitive material""

Really it would be more up than down. Anyway, I posted to a comment to express my opinion. You have decided to have a discussion with me about it. I'm not dragging you anywhere actually. I'm not all about political correctness. It's just the fact that here we are, in the 21st century, judging people by the way they look. On Gizmodo. Hotness is one thing, but Humpty Dumpty jokes?

I have seen this link a few times now from a few sources.. I really just find it sad, and kind of elitist that people are poking fun at a class of people who are impoverished and under educated. I know a denim jacket and mullet are out of style.. but when you make $20k a year, and your friends all make $20k a year and live in a trailer park, or poor neighborhood.. thats life man. I would ask people to think twice about calling the less fortunate among us "creatures" because they are out of touch.

EvelynCorvus

@tex210: And this news affects the level of humor I find from this website how? Should I stop laughing at schizophrenia jokes because my uncle has had that for 30 odd years. Should I quit laughing at cancer jokes because of three friends who died of it? Grow up, seriously. Don't drag the rest of us down because of your inability to appropriatley handle "potentially insensitive material" If you don't like it, fire off a direct e-mail to the editor but don't air your wares here.

Walmart is like the Star Wars Cantina ... all sorts of species there

@quasimod:
I'm not a hick. I don't shop at general stores.

Of course, during my 3-year stint in Europe, I did often shop at bakers, grocers, produce markets, and, before I went vegan, butchers and fish mongers. It was kinda like what urbanites and suburbanites used to do before Walmart and Kmart killed the little guy. Tesco and Carrefour aren't such efficient murderers as their American counterparts.

@Chameleo: I lived in Hollywood for 25 years, and lived in SF for 9, and I've seen everything...but the difference between the Coasts and Oklahoma (where I've lived for 8 years) is that the Okies would be friendly to you and help you change your tire, while The Elite would sneer and drive on.

Y'all come back now ya hear!

It must be SO AWESOME to be Elite! Wahoo!

@OscarLulu: It would be awesome to have the Super Duper people have their own network!

They have their own diamond "lexus-lane" in SoCal...this could be the new thing!

1. If this were a tattooed, spike-haired, pierced-out freak in an Apple store browsing MacBooks, he would be defended as simply "expressing his individuality."

2. If this were a black man in any store dressed in any way, there would be no ridicule of him whatsoever.

3. Liberal elitists like yourselves want it both ways; on the one hand you claim to be the defender of the poor and common. In the same breath you ridicule them especially when they shop someplace that might actually save them a little money. Let's face reality here...you want everyone to be exactly as miserable as you are, no more or less.

Stew on that for a while.

Whole lot of judgemental pricks here on this here Gizmodo bloggy thing.

@m0unstr0: That's...very..disturbing.

@Benguin:
And FUPAs. Don't forget FUPAs. The local Walmart where I live is like the freaking Temple of the FUPA, a bustling hive of those gelatinous sacks of lard.

I almost expect something to come by and scoop up the ripe ones, to be fed to some enormous insectile queen, much like royal jelly is fed to queen bees.

A. The southern zoo has a description of the animal on the front of the cage along with a recipe.

People seem to ignore the fact that the person who took this photo was most likely ... shopping at walmart!

Besides, I grew up in, and live in Columbia, MO the WalMart capitol of the World!

The Walton's family live here and this seems to be the test bed for everything "New" with walmart. We have 4 SuperWalmarts, more almart per capita than anywhere.

People hate on walmart but this community thrives still, If mom and pop businesses can't match them for prices or pay then it is unfortunate but its america.

Besides, I'm not a redneck but otherwise where would rednecks shop?

Russell Lynn

@Shamoononon: It's really hot today.: wow what a drunk looking mess.

sorry ponies.

As someone who has to drag themselves kicking and screaming into my local Wal Mart, I have to say that some of these photos don't even begin to describe some of the Night of the Living Dead rejects I have spied late in the evening. Seems that in order to fit in and not have them charge at you in a slavering, murderous, stinky rage you must adopt a similar slack-jawed, glassy-eyed appearance.

billzbub

It's amazing to me the kind of people you run across in any given Wal Mart. I live in somewhat affluent neighborhood in Southern California and even my local Wal Mart looks like a Nascar event half the time.

@JCWhitless: Your interpretation of the law is on par with this guy's fashion sense.

@Chroma3000: Go a bit down the comments.

Hopefully he buys a proper shirt while hes there.

ploopsy

@JCWhitless: "And no, this isn't in public. These are photographs of people on private property"

You mean property which is open to the public...

Takes a lot of confidence to wear a shirt like that..
or it takes a lot of lacking respect for yourself.. one or the other.

@OMG! Ponies!: isn't the real reason, that wal-mart shoppers would put the crack heads to shame?

maybe he had a bad day and went all hulk mode and stuff and now he's trying to chill out playing some ghost busters

@Ayeco: Wearing a bib/cape combo is not a lifestyle. Mullet, maybe, but that's up for debate.

And how is this racist? At all? As far as I know, somehow looking trashier than we thought was possible in Walmart isn't a race. It's hilarious.

@92BuickLeSabre: I'm down with that.

@tex210: And I'm very sorry about that. Nobody's making fun of it, or anything like it.

What they are making fun of is the fact that this man is wearing only a very small part of a shirt and has a wicked awesome mullet. And he happens to be in a Walmart.

Dude give him a break.. even Dr. Bruce banner needs a break by playing video games

This a xbox 360 owner red neck who plays the ps3 at walmart...

@JCWhitless: So this is what earns a star over on jalopnik eh?

Let's just run down the list on the picture above to save time:

Dude looks like a roadie for the Eagles.

This is proof that cutting your own hair with a flowbee after a 6-pack of Old Milwaukee can be harmful.

Making your own clothes using instructables.com might work better if you know how to read first.

"What do you mean they didn't release the Beerfest soundtrack on 8-track cassette?!"

This is actually the promo for the Jeff Foxworthy drunk flyfishing game being released on PS3 next month.

This is the next generation of street performer - he makes Ratchet dance until people throw quarters onto the other half of his shirt or his paypal account.

He's attempting to find a use for the store credit he received after returning his .22 rifle due to the sharp edges scraping him when he used it to scratch his ass.

He saw Solid Snake with a rifle and a mullet and now thinks that it must be the one true redneck jesus.

His bathtub crystal meth has kicked in and the game isn't even on.

He wanted to check out the demo for Beatles Rock Band because he loves "classical music".

He's playing Moonshine Tycoon.

When he was younger his shirt was signed by the New Kids on the Block, and when he said he would never take it off, he meant it.

I'd write more, but I have work to do - laters.

Walmart saves workers money by lowering wages for all working people. People who shop there are by definition boobs.

@Ayeco: Are you being ironic? 0.o Your judging people for judging people!

allaun

@psychiccheese: I bet he smells and talks funny. Oh and also takes rather silly self portraits using a computers built in webcam on a plane.

I would guess Gizmodo just gave the website enough publicity to have Wal-Mart sue them into oblivion. I'm sure parody/free speech does not protect the site owners from the real life 'damages' caused by mocking a business and its customers with actual images of said customers and the business.

All Walmart has to do is identify someone mocked in one of these pictures, side with them, and the three college kids are going to experience some legal butt-hurt.

And no, this isn't in public. These are photographs of people on private property. These aren't taken from the street or in a public space. True, there isn't a reasonable expectation of privacy, but taking images for your own personal mockery and posting them to share with the world are two different things.

I don't know what's worse. People who have shirts like this or people who wear wife beaters. They're both pretty bad, but the guys who wear wife beaters have an attitude most of the time which makes me laugh at them more.

@Azures: Really? Because I see several other complaints, I wasn't the first... And the topics I've mentioned are rife with similar complaints. Dumb filler is a perfectly legit reason to complain, whether YOU give a shit, or not. I don't give a shit if you want to read articles about furries and cell phone straps, but as a reader, I, like everyone else, can complain about it. Most people could care less whether or not I don't like it, or whether you do. So what?

@92BuickLeSabre: I have a loved one who is morbidly obese due to an F'd up thyroid. I am more disgusted with the P.O.W. site for some of their purported targets they choose. I'm just disappointed with Gizmodo for giving them click-thrus.

Giz, my hats off to you. I now have a new favorite web site. Oh god, the Captain America for some reason at walmart. Then the 4 wheeler on top of a car. I was born and raised in west "by god" virginia, and I've never seen stuff this bad.

While I lack the moral outrage of others complaining about this post (it's actually fairly funny) - I do see Giz becoming the MTV of gadget blogs.
It USED to be a gadget blog, but more and more, anything that has the most trivial proximity to gadgets is blog-worthy.
Things that don't need coverage: Wal-Mart guy, a desk that has plug receptacles (like every Marriott on the planet), Anything having to do with people who dress up as animals, anything having to do with yet another stupid thumbdrive decorated like something a 13 year old girl might play with, yet more stories on shipping things in unnecessarily large boxes (which always yield the exact same comments).
Come on Giz. More gadgets please.

@rayblasdel: Why do walmart shoppers feel that they don't need to conform to public behavior and dress standards?

Mullet, check. Sweaty torn up shirt like bib, check. Farmer's tan, check. He's a certified Walmart Shopper!

LouisJebber

@tex210: I don't even think he has a loved one.

I don't know why people feel that the internet instantly removes any requirement of privacy and respect. Next week on the People of Walmart we visit an orphanage to make fun of all the kids without a home.

the ps3 slim no longer costs the shirt off of your back, all it takes now is the sides.

Do you think there's a site where these freaks take pictures of us normal people, and laugh and say "OMG! Check out the picture of these norms shopping at Wal-Mart today"

But you hear that and "AMERICAN ARE GETTING LARGER". All the time. TV makes you dumb. Texting makes kids dumb. What's next being dumb makes you dumb. DUH scientist. Americans like to consume and that's why you can't take pics of the mythical normal weight intelligent person too often.

streetceltic

This is why I don't shop at Walmart!

electronymous

@Carl Everett, Jurassic Park Tour Guide.: The guy is wearing a beer gut from hell under a bib/cape combo. That's just gross.

Hmmmm, you know, that pic is really disturbing. I've seen some weird, wild and just plain disgusting people in my local Wally World, but that guy is in a class all by himself.

@Jesustron, Now with more beer!: That wasn't necessarily @ you Jesustron. In fact, it's sort-of Kudo's for being more interested in the person than a snap judgement of his appearance.

Jafro

@Jesustron, Now with more beer!: I think you'll find that it's really several people's dad, and his shirt and haircut and the fact that he's buying video games for them in Wal-Mart is most likely due to him trying to provide his kids with a decent and entertaining life BEFORE thinking of himself. ...which is something that 95% of the egotist pricks that post here could learn something from.

I see these kinds of posts here and it makes me wish horrible things on the writing staff of Gizmodo. There is nothing "elite" about ignorance in any situation. It's still ignorance. Placing your opinion of self above your perception of people around you (that you know nothing about) is a Hitler-esque brand of ignorance that makes you a waste of flesh, and worthless to all of mankind.

Jafro

@AkkiRonin: In the defense of NYC's homeless population. At least they're not noisy and belligerent.

@tex210: The guy's wearing a bib/cape combo. That's a gadget.

@deanbmmv: The Full English Breakfast is not an invention. It's just a lot of food served all at once.

@Ayeco: or in other words, apple fans.

@tex210: Indeed, I would be angry. Angry at my parent or loved one for constantly embarrassing the rest of us.

@Ayeco: So you see nothing wrong with the man's dress in that photo? I can only think of a few possibilities here. 1) the guy in the photo is you 2) you look very similar to the guy in the photo.

Either way, the issue is clear. Firstly, that you go to walmart. Secondly, that you have, against all odds, found a way to go to Walmart underdressed.

@Homerjay- that's all.: Holey Shirt!

Stevox

@lostarchitect: I am not saying that you or I would wear that outfit exactly, but surely in the past week or month you have been in public for one moment not looking your most pin-point-perfect.

Note: I owned a pair of Spandex pants a few decades ago, long before digital cameras!

Not gadget news. Juvenile. If it were your parent or loved one made fun of in this manner, you would be angry.

You know, I wish people could post some pictures of intelligent, normal weight Americans for once but I guess that wouldn't be as fun. =/ I find the stereotype irksome and doubly so because most of the world believes it.

(Do note, I'm not saying the guy in the picture is dumb, but it sure is associated with the hick stereotype which is why this is I guess supposed to be funny).

@OMG! Ponies!: That's an interesting methodology you've employed: The Rorschach Inkblog Test...

@Jesustron, Now with more beer!: Fast food; McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, so on and so on.

I'm not saying that all Americans are fat, but rising obesity levels around the world have certainly followed the growth of fast-food restaurants which basically serve empty calories with carefully manipulated aromas designed to make you feel hungry (read Fast Food Nation for more on this). Self-control is great if you've got it, but not everyone does. And I could argue that places such as McDonald's have tried to make their food seem healthy in such a way that the uninformed may be taken in.

And it was OMG Ponies that brought up food, not me.

@Xenoman: yes. I am proud to be an american. And I'm glad you're not, too.

I have to say that I think the concept behind this post is a little lame, though. What does Walmart have to do with this dude's shirt, other than his shopping habits? Do we make fun of Ford because that's the car he was in on his way there? Or of the suburb he came from because that's where he lives? It just seems unnecessary and mean spirited.

heypal

It's sad to see what the child stars of Goonies are doing these days.

trs

@OMG! Ponies!: Whilst I agree with Jesustron's reply here, I should just point out that exportation of the American diet is spreading obesity around the world, so I wouldn't get too cocky about other people's foods.

The British may have been responsible for some fairly foul food in the past (things have changed a lot recently), but at least it was, for the most part, fairly healthy and balanced.

@TinaBringMeTheAx: You wouldn't happen to be halfway through a box of Franzia wine, would you?

@OMG! Ponies!: No No No, Canned beans and bangers are awesome. Great hangover food.

(Only Heinz ones though, the rest are awful)

@Lupus_Yonderboy: He's kinda got a Bruce Boxleitner 1983 thing going on. I'm digging him more and more.

@tawni: Did you click through to the site? If not, please do. When you come back, then you can tell me if you have EVER seen any of those people at an IKEA.

@tawni: The Brooklyn Ikea is in Red Hook, not Williamsburg. And they have a rib dinner special on Wednesday nights (4pm to closing), which is excellent: 1/2 rack, side and corn bread for $7.99!

I work in downtown Brooklyn, so I can take the free shuttle bus to Ikea, then the free (if your spend $10 or more) water taxi back to Manhattan.

Yummy!

@Xenoman:

Name your country of origin and I will google some pictures of rejects from there too.

you all must be proud to be an American !
glad I'm not :/

@Homerjay WANTS to jailbreak his iphone but is still scared to brick it.: It says nothing about you having to have pants though ;)

@OMG! Ponies!: Hey, if he'd a) lose the pot belly and b) darken those jeans a bit (and make them super skinny, of course) there'd be hipsters in Billyburg dreaming of looking like this.

@OMG! Ponies!: So you let an Ikea sneak in instead? That is just as bad a s a wal mart.

I kind of want to hangout with him and get into "Mr. plays ps3 at walmart with a drape on's" Mind. What is he REALLY thinking? I bet there's some deep thoughts under that psudomullet.

@Hi, I'm God: Oh lord. I need some coffee. I'm up to 8 comments in 15 minutes on this one post. I'm beginning to think that Sean's posts have far more comedy potential than Mark's.

At the very least, this needs to be cross-posted to Gawker.

@TinaBringMeTheAx: Lighten up, Francis...

@OMG! Ponies!:
Phil - Would you please put some pants on? I feel weird having to ask you twice.

Alan - I can't put pants on at a time like this!

@TinaBringMeTheAx: NB: I actually think he's kinda hot.

@Scotland: Excuse me but as I recall, when I last saw you commenting yesterday, you were defending the world's most repulsive canned foods.

Canned beans and bangers are the culinary equivalent of that gentleman's shirt.

"Pictures of the most ridiculous and insanely disturbing people who call Walmart their home. I suggest venturing there after midnight to find that special someone. The top three pictures of the month will receive:

First Place: $100
Second Place: $50
Third Place: $25 "

@Homerjay WANTS to jailbreak his iphone but is still scared to brick it.: In all fairness to the gentleman pictured above, there have been times when I have said to myself:

"Where the hell are my pants? I was wearing them when I passed out..."

@OMG! Ponies!:

I secretly have a new fall lineup designed, hidden in my closet... all 1980s metal tunic T's.

Is he auditioning for Waterworld?

@jetRink: We do have standards to maintain. Asshole trust-fund hipsters in W'burg are one thing but this...

@Homerjay WANTS to jailbreak his iphone but is still scared to brick it.: Wal*Mart's policy is evidently "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Shame - No Problem!"

@Jesustron, Now with more beer!: Not yet. But at the Fall 2009 Fashion Show, tee shirt tunics are expected to show up in full force, representing the national mood and worries about the Great Recession.

Gizzmodo I'm disappointed in you. This is simply mean. I doubt that a good many of regular readers of this site look that much different from this guy. What's "sad & disturbing" is your reinforcing stereotypes like Wallmart's "typical shopper." Your site is usually smart and fun. This, not so much.

@TinaBringMeTheAx: Something tell me he doesn't give a shit about what people think. If you look ANYTHING like that at any point in your life then you, too, deserve to be featured on "People of Walmart."

@OMG! Ponies!: If you build it, they will come.

@Hi, I'm God: Yes. But only when I shop at Sacks Fifth Avenue

I would like to know if this legally qualifies as "Shirt" in the "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service" policy.

@kentsmithnz: "I have misplaced my pants."

@TinaBringMeTheAx: look at this dude...JUST LOOK AT HIM. I've never in my life left my house with a t shit cut into a tunic.

@TinaBringMeTheAx: You wear sacks for 1/250th of a second sometimes?

@TinaBringMeTheAx: +1

@shalegac: There is. It's called "Make My iPhone Kill Itself"

It has nothing to do with employment practices or environmental practices.

The people on that site are the entire reason that we won't allow Wal*Mart in New York City.

What possible good can come from exposing this utterly innocent shopper to national ridicule? Any of us can look pretty repellent on any given 1/250 of a second.

This is Gizmodo, not Perez Hilton's website.

Has Giz just jumped the shark?

TinaBringMeTheAx

what the hell is that? a sack?

kentsmithnz

Why isn't there an app for this site?!

Yea, sadly I have seen a few of those before at one Walmart.
