Yet another reason to hate Wal-Mart

Ok, so this high school student is assigned a civic's project to take photos and illustrate his rights under the Bill of Rights. Harmless, right? Well, not once you get Wal-Mart involved.

How much pressure can one head take?

I had a headache for about six hours today. I did this sketch in Flash MX as a form of therapy. It didn't work.

As always, your comments are appreciated.
