Just in time for the Pipe Masters!
We all know what the surfer’s drug of choice is. The one that most mirrors her wayward heart. The one that replicates his insatiable appetite in the water on land. It’s a love story (buy here) and in an apparent attempt to corner the elusive Christmas surf market retail giant Walmart offered a “surf-like” Santa Claus preparing a tableful of cocaine over the words “Let it snow.”
The sweater has, unfortunately, been removed from Walmart’s offerings and let us turn to People magazine for more.
The sweater’s description on the website read, “We all know how snow works. It’s white, powdery and the best snow comes straight from South America. That’s bad news for jolly old St. Nick, who lives far away in the North Pole.”
After the sweater was mocked and criticized on social media, Walmart issued an apology to Canadian news organization The Global News.
“These sweaters, sold by a third-party seller on Walmart.ca, do not represent Walmart’s values and have no place on our website,” the statement said. “We have removed these products from our marketplace. We apologize for any unintended offence this may have caused.”
The sweater, which was made by clothing company FUN Wear, is no longer available on Walmart’s website.
My question is, how will Walmart now corner the elusive Christmas surf market?
How will the executives hope to outfox gift idea geniuses at The Inertia?
More as the story develops.

Wait, Walmart is selling Da Hui holiday sweaters featuring Eddie Rothman?
Good place to be stuck
They said we’d be underwater by now back then
Yawn.
Your trollbait is starting to really stink up the place
So is the bullshit.
Every morning I crack open a fresh jar of bullshit and rub some on my balls for good luck.
I always wondered how Santa lapped the world in a 24hour period. Regular nose conez to get it done of course!
I ordered the Beachgrit one already before they withdrew it from sale

When will someone write
About Cocaine + Surfing
Such a love affair
Yeah it’s weird that no decent writer has ever written about that topic. Do you want to read my story about Valtrex + Surfing? It’s a bit of a sore spot for me but it was indeed borne out of a love affair.
As long as you can
Get Shaun Tan to do pictures
It’s a best seller
I would prefer to get Shaun White so that Shaun Tan does not make me feel pale. Shaun Shite. The ultimate kook lord.
Did the words”decent writer” rule out the only printed volume of note?
It’s just not very interesting a subject.
Haven’t you ever stood around with 4 guys and an 8 ball.
It’s retarded.
Get rid of those guys
And gather pretty ladies
Can’t be all that bad
Too be honest
If you want a great chemsex experience I’d go the crystal.
The sex comess way second with coke. Always lose your boner racking up again
Lamar Odom’s workaround for that problem definitely carried it’s risks.
We are working on it.
Based on true stories, it is a comedy wrapped within an adventure, action movie.
We are trying to get releases from everyone with the main problem being everyone’s either dead, in jail..or rich. (
They all went for it)
