Carlin's no joke for Wal-Mart
Report: Discounter returns 3,500 copies of George Carlin's new book; cites ordering "error."
October 28, 2004: 11:50 AM EDTNEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Funnyman George Carlin's new book "When will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops," is no laughing matter for discounter Wal-Mart.
According to the New York Post, the world's largest retailer reportedly has returned 3,500 copies of Carlin's book, citing an ordering error.
The book, published by Hyperion, is currently No. 28 on Amazon.com's top-sellers list.
Carlin, popular for his subversive comedy, addresses politics, religion and hygiene in the book. Its cover is a rendition of the "Last Supper" with Carlin pictured sitting next to Jesus' empty chair, the report said.
