Are the Eagles really a bunch of turkeys?

The Eagles, nobody's idea of the hardest-working guys in showbiz, have finally released a bunch of new music. Not like the world's been waiting with bated breath for aging LA hipsters to give us their view of the way things are, man. But, you know, some of us thought "Hotel California" wasn't bad, so we'd like to pick up this new CD.
But hold on a minute there, hombre.
Turns out the calicas-loving stoners have worked out an eclusive distribution deal with...wait for it...Wal-Mart.
That's right you can only pick up "Long Walk Out Of Eden'' at that bastion of uber-capitalism, Wal-Mart.
This is worse than when Led Zeppelin decided to shill for Cadillac.

You can pick up their new CD , along with a Jesus action figure now being sold (in time for Christmas). Guess it could be worse and selling them on QVC a la John Tesh at Red Rock.

What if you're a Muslim? Do you get a Mohammad action figure that beheads Jesus?

As for the anonymous action figure, when you pull the string attached to its back it just spits up all over itself.

The ray action figure spews anti-religious epithets and then wets itself.

Make up your mind. Which does it do?

BTW, you need to clean up the front of your shirt.

There's nothing anti-religious about debating religion. Unless your fascist urges tell you that ideas other than the required ones are off limits, of course.

The Eagles are a good band. I don't think I care if they have an exclusive with Walmart.

They have the right to market their music any way they want, just as you Mr. Riley, have the right not to like it.
