Three years ago, Best Buy announced it would no longer use the word 'Christmas' in its seasonal advertising because, they claimed, it was disrespectful to other holidays to use a specific holiday in its advertising: "We are going to continue to use the term holiday because there are several holidays throughout that time period, and we certainly need to be respectful of all of them."
All right, so explain this!

I am so freakin' furious about this! I just picked up Sunday’s paper, located the ad and sure enough! No more shopping at BB for me AND I just went to their web page and sent them an email telling them as much! BB is in bed with the mooselambs. As someone here once (or twice or multiple times) said, “Buy more bullets.”
Well, i just scratched them off my list! Besides, they're crooks any way.
BOYCOTT, BOTCOTT, BOYCOTT !!!
How is celebrating one person's holiday disrespectful to someone else?
Unless you are a mooslamb celebrating rmamdanadan by fasting and killinginfidels. that's ok?
That Chinese dude isn't getting fuqued nearly as much as "We The People"

WORD OF THE DAY
GLOBAL WARMING, n.
A load of politically expedient bullshit that tries to manipulate the unwary by exaggerating a naturally-occurring climate cycle, then uses the hysteria to impose universal misery.
Words of Wisdom;
Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Why do psychics have to ask you your name?
If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
OK, so what's the speed of dark?
When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
At Academy Sports in Austin, where I buy more bullets, they always say Merry Christmas.
Speaking of which - heading home tonight. Will be visiting my favorite bullet salesman tomorrow.
And a Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!!
What slays me, is that the very same people that scream and cry for enemies we killed in wars for the last 100 years, are the very ones that refuse to see that we'd be speaking ENGLISH english, if not German or Japanese, unless those people had been slain.
If they hate America SO much, I say we pack the SEDITIOUS hammerheads off to China. I hear they are very enlightened ...
It's a shame 99942 Apophis(click my name) isn't larger, moving faster and/or going to hit sooner.
I switched from buying a TV from Best Buy to PC Richard because of this AND PC Richard ran an ad proudly announcing "Happy Thanksgiving" and criticising all the retailers that forced their employees to come to work on Turkey Day. I will be curious to see if BB weasels their way out of this.
