In the latest twist to the ongoing saga of the famous Walmart pole, an absurd rumor has begun circulating that the pole has been struck again. This claim, however, is simply not true, and we’re here to put it to rest. Just like those celebrity death hoaxes that hit social media and send fans into a frenzy, this rumor is one for the record books—false and unfounded.
We spoke directly to the Walmart pole, who is currently standing tall and unaffected by any new collisions. Here’s what the pole had to say:
“I’m doing just fine, folks. No new dents, no fresh scratches—just the same solid pole you’ve all come to know and love. These rumors are absolutely ridiculous.”
The pole also had some choice words for those eager to spread such tales:
“It’s funny how people love to make up stories. Maybe it’s because I’m a local celebrity now, but there’s no truth to this at all. Not one scratch. Nothing. It’s all just noise.”
But where could this rumor have originated? One possibility, as some have suggested, is the ongoing class action lawsuit involving Walmart and other defendants. The suit, which claims damages and negligence related to the infamous pole incident, has certainly drawn attention, and now some are wondering if the rumors were strategically planted by parties involved in the litigation.
While there’s no definitive evidence to support this theory, some local legal experts speculate that such misinformation could be a tactic to shift public perception or muddy the waters in the ongoing case.
“Given the circumstances surrounding the class action, it’s not hard to imagine that someone might want to stir the pot,” said one anonymous legal expert. “Misinformation campaigns are nothing new in the world of litigation, especially when stakes are high. It’s a possibility that we can’t ignore.”
Adding to the intrigue, no one has seen or heard from the original Walmart pole, the one that was replaced by the current one after the collision. Its whereabouts remain a mystery, further fueling conspiracy theories among locals.
In an attempt to uncover more details, we reached out to the lead attorneys representing the plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit. Though they declined to comment on the specifics of the rumors, they did confirm that the case will continue with the current Walmart pole, now serving as the new lead plaintiff.
“We can confirm that the lawsuit is ongoing,” said a spokesperson for the legal team. “As for the previous pole, we have no information to provide at this time. The current pole is now our primary plaintiff, and we are focused on moving forward with the case.”
As the class action suit continues, we’ll be keeping a close eye on any new developments—rumors or otherwise—and will keep the public informed.
But for now, rest assured: the Walmart pole is standing tall and proud, with no fresh hits to report. Stay tuned for more updates, and remember, not everything you hear is true.
