Note to Walmart: When you are a huge corporation -- pun fully intended -- it's never a good idea to offend anyone.

No, this is not a Walmart Wolverine post (do they still exist...or have they all become Michigan State fans?), it's about categories for Walmart's Halloween costumes.

On their website, unsuspecting ladies looking for a costume could have stumbled onto a category labeled "fat girl costumes." At first you might think "Oh, OK, this is for when I want to dress up as a fat girl for Halloween."

Nope, that is not the case. The category is for plus sized girls who are looking for a Halloween costume. You can get a plus-size clown costume or you can be a witch. There's nothing sexy at all for the plus size ladies.

Poor girls.

Walmart has since apologized.

Just a guess, but I'm betting the "fat girls" trolling for costumes won't accept this apology.
