Introducing Walmart’s New “Items Endorsed By Controversial TV Stars” Section

When it comes to convenience, whoever works at this Walmart is doing a great job grouping items if the category is “Controversial Celebrity Endorsed Things.” Consumerist reader Fernando snapped this pic showing a display stocked with Duck Dynasty- and Paula Deen-branded merchandise. Because see, hot topics in the media and all that.

For those not in the loop, the A&E series about a family of duckhunters has been in the crosshairs lately, after a cast member made some remarks during an interview that many are calling homophobic and racist.

I think there's a majority of folks out here that see past all the hooplah and would prefer to buy Paula Deen and Phil's brands. Great marketing by the Wal Mart manager!

Maybe the manager doesn't watch the mainstream media. Probably just knows a good product when he sees it.

I think the majority of folks don't really give a damm what the product endorser says in their private life, if the product is good, who cares? I could care less if Paula tells dirty jokes or calls the kitchen help names, and as for Phil, I agree, queers are an Obamanation against God!
