Peter Kanelos Leaves WM Tomorrow (Updated)

I think this is a big loss for Wal-Mart:

The Wal-Mart community affairs director for Arizona and Southern California, whose office approved an advertisement that appeared to equate a local zoning proposal with Nazi book-burning, has resigned, the giant retailer said.

Peter Kanelos, who oversees the chain's public relations effort in both states, will leave the company Friday...

Kanelos seems to have been pretty effective in many other campaigns...

UPDATE: WUWM insists that:

tens of thousands of Wake-Up Wal-Mart supporters demonstrated the power ordinary Americans have to change Wal-Mart and make Wal-Mart a more responsible company.
As Fark would put it, .
