Is Wal-Mart serious?

During the Academy Awards, they ran a commercial where a woman goes in to "get something sweet" and ends up with "something to keep the whole family entertained."

What? She's looking for a candy bar and ends up buying a $3,000 flat-panel TV? Did someone miss an important day in marketing class? That's the exact opposite of how an impulse buy works.

Come on, Wal-Mart. Even I know that!
