Would Jesus shop at Wal-Mart?

Wake-Up Wal-Mart is on the attack again, this time running commercials in Texas, Georgia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Alabama lambasting the corporate giant and claiming Jesus would not approve of its business practices. The ads attack Wal-Mart for paying low wages (which cause many of their employees to have to seek federal assistance), the effects of Wal-Mart stores on the environment, and, presumably, the fact that Wal-Mart never hires lepers. Wal-Mart says the accusations are misleading. I don't know how "misleading" they are, but I do know that anytime people start using Jesus to defend their cause, no matter what it might be, I tune out.
