Wal-Mart starts another price war — this time it's over video games.

And you thought selling expensive, weird-tasting frozen yogurt was Pinkberry's biggest sin! The fro-yo chain, owned by Korean-Americans, is selling these Mandarin Juicers by Alessi that other Asians find offensive—they say they're reminiscent of so-called Chinese "coolies" and should be removed from stores. Update! A Pinkberry rep says, "We wanted to let you know that these items are being removed from our store. We started removing them awhile ago... They were part of an eclectic collection and we in no way ever intended to offend anyone by displaying them." [Racked; photo via ext212's Flickr]

We like this magazine rack because it's a bit cruel to the magazines, requiring that they be folded for storage—like a torture instrument for glossies! Put that old New Yorker satire cover right here. [Amazon via Coudal]

Every weekend, Gawker will analyze a consumer product in a sufficiently probing—that is, harder probing than Chuck Klosterman but gentler probing than Malcolm Gladwell—way. We will describe it a little bit, then write a few "on one hand"/"on the other hand" statements, then call it a day. With apologies to Moli re, Chekhov, and sad-eyed whores the world over, we will call it "Dying of Consumption." Someone will pay us for it.
