Walmart snatches cookies from Girl Scouts!

Big bad Walmart is trying to muscle in on Girl Scout cookies by peddling cookies that taste and look like Thin Mints and Tagalongs on its "Great Value" label. Yeah, knockoffs!
Those bastards!
Mommy blogger C.V. Harquail breaks the story on her Authentic Organizations site:
Wal-mart has fake Girl Scout cookies in 'beta' distribution, on their way to a national rollout. Because the cookies are 'reasonable facsimiles' of the authentic Girl Scout cookies (I sampled them myself at BlogHer '09 last week) and are being sold at an everyday low price, these cookies are poised to snatch cookie sales right out of the hands of the Girl Scouts themselves.

MediaCurves.com just conducted a study on 307 viewers of a news clip discussed the recent controversy involving Walmart and the Girl Scouts. The majority (58%) of respondents who are parents of Girl Scout members said that they have a more negative perception of the discount store after watching the news clip. Over a third of these Girl Scout parents (35%) reported that they are now less likely to shop at Walmart stores after learning of the Girl Scout cookie controversy.
