In a New York Times article today, folks from Wal-Mart muse that while every other retailer in the U.S. is hemorrhaging funds and customers, they’re doing great thank you very much. While we think Wal-Mart is one of the single most evil things in the world, we’re at least glad that their success will likely lengthen the life expectancy of one of the greatest suburban street furnishings: the shopping cart. Yes, shopping carts can and do serve many purposes aside from shopping (have you heard of Idiotarod?), so thank you Wal-Mart for keeping those rickety, shape-shifting, randomness-carrying cages on wheels around a little longer. In tribute (to shopping carts, not Wal-Mart), we’ve assembled 12 Pieces of Shopping Cart Art.

Robert Smithson would be proud.

Only available in stainless steel or neon green, apparently.

Shopping Cart Car

Only available at new drive-in Wal-Marts.

Shopping Cart Deer (or Shopping Cart Gun Rack?)

Because things get a little aggressive in the aisles sometimes.

Shopping Cart Frog

Because their wheels usually work so poorly, why not design hopping carts?

Shopping Cart Hot Rod

Practice for when you actually get a car.

Shopping Cart King Fisher

I guess that shopping cart was the one that got away.

Because every shopping cart is special, no matter its color or material.
