(LOS ANGELES) - Though Wal-Mart and Kmart have pulled the album, Blockbuster, Musicland and Tower will continue to sell Prodigy's The Fat Of The Land, which contains the band's controversial new single, "Smack My B*tch Up."|

The National Organization for Women has come out against the song, saying it glorifies violence against women. "Wal-Mart and Kmart have a right to decide what they want to have in their stores. It's the same right they had when the album was first released," says Bob Merlis, Warner Bros. senior vice president, worldwide corporate communications. The album was released in July by Mute/Maverick/Warner Bros.
