ALMONT TOWNSHIP, Mich. ? A former Wal-Mart cashier says he was fired for joking on his MySpace page that the average IQ would increase if a bomb were dropped on the company's stores.

David Noordewier said he was fired Feb. 27 for posting the message, which he said was a joke and not a threat.

"I told them that this was crazy," Noordewier told The Flint Journal. "It's not like I have a fighter jet in my backyard to drop a bomb with. Then they escorted me out to the parking lot."

Noordewier said store officials had him sign an acknowledgment that he was fired for "gross misconduct ? integrity issue."

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Kory Lundberg confirmed that Noordewier no longer worked for the company but would not discuss why.

Unemployment officials said Noordewier did not qualify for benefits because he had made a threat.

Noordewier had a near-perfect work attendance record and once received a personal thank-you letter from the company president over compliments from a customer he once helped.

1) Reason #30981504976834 Not to be on MySpace
2) He's right, if you bombed Wal-Mart you would improve the national IQ average, but he fails to miss that the same goes for MySpace, you could REALLY increase the national IQ average if you had a huge MySpace meet and bombed it.
3) It was a pretty funny joke

MySpace = Web sites for people that are too stupid to create Web sites.
