People of Walmart is an entertainment website featuring user-submitted photos of socially awkward or undesirable customers who were photographed while shopping at Walmart. The site has been promoted largely on sites like Digg and Funny or Die, and linked on Facebook and Twitter. People of Walmart was founded in 2009 by brothers Andrew and Adam Kipple, and their friend Luke Wherry, who grew up together in Harrison City, PA and attended Penn-Trafford High School. == History == The website was founded in August 2009 after three men in their 20s--Andrew Kipple, his brother Adam, and their friend Luke Wherry--noticed at a South Carolina Wal-Mart a woman who looked like a stripper to them in a t-shirt that read "go f * * * yourself" with a 2 year old in a harness and a man with a beard reminiscent of those worn by ZZ Top.〔 〔 They created the website to share what they find truly remarkable, ignoring more stereotypical redneck or mullets. While they created the site for their own social circle, it immediately went viral, enabling Wherry and Adam Kipple to leave their prior jobs. Andrew Kipple is a student.〔 Wal-Mart has not commented.〔 In addition to avoiding the ordinary, the trio refuse to post photos of people who are disabled or working Walmart employees.〔 The site has given rise to various other similar websites, some with variations on the theme.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://wallypeople.com/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「People of Walmart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
