Cave-dwellers aside, we’ve all seen it: those “related items” links on store websites. They’re supposed to point to items that are somehow related or similar to whatever you’re looking at.

Well, Wal-Mart’s website drew a connection between various black leaders and… erm… “Planet of the Apes.”

“Wal-Mart takes another misstep down the slippery slope of race” (link)

“Wal-Mart Web site links ‘Planet of Apes,’ MLK” (link)

I think Wal-Mart gets the Great American Fuck-Up award.
