“Dr. Sexy Shots.” “Naughty Nurse.” “Pirate Wench.” “Sultry Officer.” No, these aren’t juicy porn star stage names. They’re plus-sized Wal-Mart Halloween costumes. And not just your garden variety raunchy, sexist costumes du jour. Oh, no. In words of Wal-Mart, they’re “Fat Girl Costumes.”

Yup, Sam Walton’s downhome discount rollback machine actually published a section in its online store this week titled “Fat Girl Costumes.” Fat. Girl. Costumes… in case you didn’t quite catch that.

On second thought, semi-apology is too generous for Wal-Mart’s trite response tweet to the copywriter: “.”

Wal-Mart also ate a slice of humble pie on People Magazine’s . “This never should have been on our site,” a company spokesperson said. “It is unacceptable and we apologize.” The representative also said Wal-Mart was working to ensure that a goof up like this “would never happen again.”

Thus a somewhat more politically correct, slightly less self-esteem skewering “” section is now live on Wal-Mart.com. It showcases many of the same smutty getups that the original “Fat” section paraded.

As Washburn put it, “” Not at Wal-Mart. Not anywhere. Not ever.
