That was fantastically hilarious, especially since I stumbled upon it while trying to figure out walmarts' hours on google. Though, as a young adult in retail, I found this pinch of humor to be right up my ally (and I don't mean lodged in my rectum). What the hell?

I did the piece "my 49 hours at wal-mart" beginning the day after thanksgiving, 2001. I was at the North Versailles super wal-mart outside of Pittsburgh, PA. I spent less than 5 dollars at wal-mart during that performance (and before, and since). wal-mart caries everything necessary for its own undoing but, as always, you cant buy it. Happy shopping. -md Mike, thanks for posting the correction and the scan of the back cover of my zine. I did the piece “my 49 hours at wal-mart” beginning the day after thanksgiving, 2001.

So these two guys made and publicized a fake store? When you say "don't go see the film," are you being ironic or did you not like the movie? I never heard of Czech Dream before.
