Shocking: A Walmart won't make confederate flag cake, but it did make THIS? Is its apology good enough? [photos]

Too BAD to check?

@SaxonEsq @Walmart @YoungCons sounds like an honest mistake. But, how can this happen? I wonder if ISIS cake had characters w/heads severed.

Horrible. Honest mistake or that, this apparently happened:

Walmart was made 2 look like fools Ha ha! They refused to make a confederate flag cake only to wind up making an ISIS flag cake PR nightmare

No, for real. Confederate flag cakes? No way! That flag is evidently the most evil thing always ever. In perpetuity. But THIS flag is A-OK:

@Walmart Can you explain why you refused to bake cake with the Confederate flag but had no problem making a cake with the ISIS flag?

Good question. After the flap, Walmart finally had this to say:

Walmart Apologizes for Making ISIS Cake – ABC News http://t.co/8lD0Oj6eu3 (via @ABC)

Here is what the Walmart store said:

A spokesman for Walmart told ABC News, “An associate in a local store did not know what the design meant and made a mistake. The cake should not have been made and we apologize.”

Do you buy the apology? We have a feeling it might not end here. Many expressed this sentiment on Twitter:

Well. Maybe Walmart will think twice before caving to the tolerance brigade again.
