This week in weird business news…

Walmart says bye bye to the Biebs

First there was an increase in wages, next a looser dress code. Clearly Walmart (WMT) is attempting to improve the working lives of its 1.3 million employees. And it appears as though their latest initiative has hit the nail on the head. At a conference Wednesday, the superstore’s executives told 3,000 employees that they would stop looping Celine Dion and Justin Bieber CDs in store. They received a standing ovation. Walmart will soon begin an in-store radio program complete with a live DJ.

Who owns the sun?

You might go to a notary to get a marriage license or a mortgage, but Maria Duran had another plan. She registered the sun in her name at her local notary in Vigo, Spain. Under the United Nation’s Outer Space Treaty, no country can claim ownership of the sun but Duran claims that there is no provision against humans doing so. The 54-year-old woman set up an eBay (EBAY) shop and began selling plots of land on the star for one euro each. eBay eventually kicked Duran off of the site, and the mother of four turned around and sued the online auction site for breech of contract. At first the site tried to settle, then argued that there was no jurisdiction. Now the company will have to argue the case in Madrid this July.

Bringing home the bacon

The Indiana lottery is banking on people’s love of bacon. The Hoosier state is selling bacon-scented scratch-offs with a 20-year supply of the cured delicacy as the grand prize. Not into the salty slabs? You can opt out and receive a $5,000 lump sum instead.
