Yet, according to the Chicago Tribune, "[Crowson] wouldn't say where the image had been made — only that the mystery had been solved." The Tribune also notes that Crowson wouldn't divulge what evidence Walmart had that the signage was a prank. In essence, we're to take his word for it, because no major company would ever lie to cover a public relations mishap. Nevvvver.
