Wal-Mart has filed a federal lawsuit over a warped version of its logo appearing on T-shirts and on a Web site with the word "Wal-ocaust" in blue over an Iron Eagle clutching a yellow smiley face. Charles Smith, a computer repairman from Conyers, Ga., began selling T-shirts reading "I (heart) Wal-ocaust" last year. Smith acknowledges the logo is tasteless, but he and his attorneys, part of Ralph Nader's Public Citizen Litigation Group, consider this a free speech battle.
