Woman Freaks Out After Seeing Her Mom on 'People of Walmart'

melanie wheeler is mad that her mom was on people of walmart Ypsilanti, Michigan resident Melanie Wheeler is causing a stink after discovering that a photo of her mother was posted on the humor site People of Walmart.

Wheeler spoke to Fox News about the website and asked, "You can't be safe in a store while you're shopping? It upsets me. We have no privacy shopping? So, I could go into any store and take a picture of anybody or their children and put it up on a web page?"

Uh, yeah. Basically. Isn't that what celebrities have been complaining about for years? If you're not in a private residence, you run the risk of having your photo snapped, even if you're just a regular, un-famous citizen.

Not to blame the victim, but we'd suggest Ms. Wheeler spend less time trying to modify the First Amendment to meet her needs and more time making sure her mom's not walking around a superstore dressed like a teenage mass murderer.

Clearly she surfs people of walmart, how else would she have found the picture. She probably laughs at other peoples pictures but once her mom is on then all hell breaks loose, that is just hypocritical

If I were in that Wal-Mart I would and could have seen the mom and her attire she was out there in public being seen, BUT to post it and make fun of it at her expense is the wrong. Exploiting someone like that is equal to cyber bullying doing something to someone to harm them or make them feel bad. Shame on the picture taker but bigger shame on the lookers if the takers did not have an audience who would care.

Let's give this woman the benefit of the doubt. After all, she only has two tubs of Dubble Bubble sitting on her kitchen table.

PoWM only allows us to do (without the grief of going INTO the store) what pretty much all of us do (sans camera and sans Internet) every time we go into Wal-Mart, to wit, make fun of the things we see there. i don't think it's "bullying" in any substantive sense, because even if you could argue it was mean-spirited, it's not actually DIRECTED at the "victim". anyway, for all i know, people have made fun of me the same way. if they did... so what?
