"WTF, Walmart?!"

Those are the words of a Louisiana man who was frustrated by his local Walmart after it refused to feature an image of the Confederate flag on a cake he ordered. Testing Walmart's limits, the man then decided to ask for a cake bearing the Islamic State's "battle flag" instead. The store agreed.

"I am highly offended, distraught, and in tears over the fact you pull American history off your shelves, but allow the offensive battle flag of terrorists, sex slavers, be-headers of Christians, burners of gays to be made in your store," the man, Chuck Netzhammer, wrote in a YouTube comment.

The store, which pulled its Confederate merchandise in the days after a white supremacist killed nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina, has apologized for the ISIS cake, which it said was made by mistake.
