Walmart.com has a 'Fat Girl Costumes' section

Walmart has a grossly insensitive subheading above one section of Halloween attire: Fat Girl Costumes.

Update: Walmart issued an apology for their 'Fat Girl Costumes' section and removed the section from the website. Links previously directed to the 'Fat Girl Costumes' section now show nothing and suggest plus size costume results.

Google the words "Walmart fat girl costumes" and the link appears as the first result.

Walmart, an international retail giant, has a grossly insensitive subheading above one section of Halloween attire: Fat Girl Costumes. As of this morning, the section is still up, despite a customer complaint to the retail chain via Twitter.

Twitter user Kristyn Washburn complained to Walmart and got a robotic apology.

She later thanked the coporation, however, for changing the section's title. On the website, there currently is no mention of a "Fat Girl Costumes" section, only your average "Women's Plus." However, the link to the offensively titled section is still live and appears in Google search results.
