Death by Consumerism; Abated and Asphyxiated for Low Prices

Wal-Mart Death by Trampling (Consumerism)

Today we found a binaural recording in our inbox. It was made minutes before the 34-year-old, Long Island, NY Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death this past Friday. The conversations that took place were very interesting. Listen and experience it for yourself.

This audio, like others in the binaural family, is best experienced with headphones.

Cannot see the Play Button?

If the Play button is not showing up in Firefox 3, try these steps:

  1. Do you have the Adblock extension installed? In Firefox 3 Adblock incorrectly blocks Flash content, even if your entire page is whitelisted. In this case just disable Flash block. Or use Adblock Plus instead.
  2. Just make sure that you have the required minimum version of the Flash Player installed.
  3. Ensure that you don’t have a corrupt Flash Player by uninstalling the Flash Player using the Adobe uninstaller and by reinstalling the plug-in via the Adobe Flash Player installation page.
