Wal-Mart has high standards of decency. They refused to carry Jon Stewart's book, America, because it was "obscene". They carry CDs with obscenity-stripped-clean lyrics.
Therefore, someone got the idea to ask Wal-Mart not to carry the Bible because it violated their own standards of decency. And thus, the Wal-Mart Bible Letter got started:

Realistically, I think this is a political statement, partly satire. As of right now, it has 2100 signatories. I read elsewhere that the major hope was that a national Jewish, Islamic or Christian group would respond to it, and that the news media would pick up the story. Anyway, I thought it merited attention. (HT: UTI)
