The section was quickly taken down on the site, but not before the internet police caught the act. Tuesday of last week Kristyn Washburn noted the questionable section on the site on her personal twitter account.
.@Walmart Not sure labeling these as "Fat Girl Costumes" is the best approach. #rude http://t.co/UbDq6BpArv pic.twitter.com/SE5BjOUPFs

As one site points out, an ad was even popping up on Facebook for the “Fat Girl Costumes”.
Many have pointed out that the section was likely written by a programmer of the site as a joke but was never changed. The site now shows “We found 0 items for the Fat Girl Costumes page” when searching for the section. Walmart has released no statement on the matter.
