Title: Urban Tulsa banned from Brookside?
Post by: bugo on June 11, 2008, 11:21:56 PM
I noticed a few weeks ago that the Urban Tulsa stand had been removed from the Wal Mart at 46th and Peoria.  I brushed it off as typical Wal-Mart censorship.  Later, I was at the Wal Mart at 21st and Yale, and there was an Urban Tulsa rack.  Anyone know why the one was removed from the Peoria store?

It was probably stolen and sold for scrap metal.

What's the current price for scrap steel?

It has doubled since December. Three cents a pound.

If that's the case, I think you hit the nail on the head - so to speak.

The securing of rack locations is very competitive for free distribution print products. You must have permission from the host to drop off copies. That WalMart store may have made an agreement to have one entity oversee the free distribution racks. That entity then charges a fee for distribution through that host.

Some overzealous entrepreneurs confiscate the racks and the product they see as not approved by the host.

How the hell does one rack missing from Wal-Mart translate to "Urban Tulsa Banned from Brookside"?  Do you realize that Urban Tulsa is at nearly every establishment on brookside?

Observation=Can't find Urban Tulsa rack@Walmart
Conclusion=It must be banned from Brookside

I thought it may be cute to change the second 'e' in 'weekly' to an 'a' . . .

THANK YOU! Glad to know I wasn't the only one having a hard time bridging the gap and making that translation as well.  Wal-mart is out of ground beef, I guess they must have banned it from all their US stores.

Reasors at 15th & Lewis was out of pork spareribs tonight.  That's an obvious conspiracy against Arkansas fans.

The sensational and misleading headline was intended to be a tribute to the shoddy, sensationalist journalism that seems to have taken over just about everywhere.  I've seen articles in the Whirled that made me cringe.
