- They could just buy advertising and then no little kids would get bikes. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 13:34 7
  - well, what if photos of your kids turned up in the paper for that event? might you feel a bit ashamed? -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 13:35 6
    - Not so ashamed that I'd rather my kid not have a bicycle I can't afford. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 13:36 5
      - I'd pimp out Logan in a heartbeat for free stuff. Kids are expensive! -- nm - Amy Dec 22, 13:38
      - I think it might be hard to answer if you're not there. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 13:36 3
        
        My daughter answered this - she said she cried; for two reasons #1 - she felt bad for her sister. #2 she felt happy for her niece that got the toys. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 22, 13:38
        
        And I'd say I'm not far enough away from there to not be able to answer. - TFox Dec 22, 13:38 1

  - We all can figure out Wal Mart's motivations--but let's focus on kids with bikes! Yay for avoiding inventory tax and getting free publicity! -- nm - Amy Dec 22, 13:36
  - Hmmm. What about when Oprah and Dr Phil give out stuff, then for ten minutes the recipients get on TV and tearfully thank them? - loosilu Dec 22, 13:34
