Wal-mart sells t-shirt with Nazi imagery

Wal-mart, as nicely outed by Bent Corner, was caught hawking a t-shirt with Nazi imagery stamped across it’s chest. While the commentary at Bent Corner has taken a unpleasant tone thanks to a single-minded hate-huckster, I’d like to look at this from another angle. Where did the design come from and how did it make it all the way to Wal-mart’s racks? Perhaps it was simply an over-worked, understaffed, and underpaid design department needing something “edgy” so they raided history not realizing the significance. Or maybe it was decidedly more dastardly and Wal-mart is in fact still the reigning evil on the planet. I’ll stick with the later…
