Oh, if only the series would have a fluffy but evil ending like this! I hae friends who work at Wal-Mart, one as a cartpusher, so... oh, man, that's amazingly evil. I especially love how Tom is all into it. That's hilarious! And the poodle bit at the end is a nice touch.

Death is amazingly short-sighted as a punishment, I think. A minimum wage slave in the clutches of Wal-Mart is much worse, IMO. And of couse Tom would love it. He recognizes an evil empire when he sees it, and in his twisted mind it's only a matter of time before he rules it. (He reminds me of the Brain, with Bella as his psycho, totally not funny Pinky.)
Sadly, I think he's totally outclassed at evil by corporate America. But until you've worked in retail, you might not apreciate that fact.
