WM has cancelled an order for Jon Stewart's new book, "because it has a photo of naked older bodies with the faces of the U.S. Supreme Court judges pasted on them."
The book also contains robes that can be cut out, and tells readers to "restore their dignity by matching each justice with his or her respective robe."But Wal-Mart execs felt that the shock of full frontal nudity might be too much for the unsuspecting shopper's eyes.
"We felt a majority of our customers would not be comfortable with the image in our stores," Wal-Mart spokeswomen Karen Burk told the New York Daily News. The book is still available at Walmart.com at 45 percent off the $24.95 list price. We still wanted to give the option of buying it from Walmart.com," Burk explained.
