"Subtle": Their Middle Name. And Their First And Their Last In Case You Don't Get The Point

Okay, Best Buy, getting a liiiiittle less subtle after a week of this now. What is, this, number 4 or 5?

Writer's Block
While walking in a winter wonderland can be fun in theory, it makes shopping a bit of a drag. Do you plan on doing your holiday shopping online on in-stores this season?

Down to the autotags, even. I clicked the "answer" button and the entry automatically tagged itself with "writer's block, holiday online, best buy, best buy holiday."

If this continues, I'm going to start spamming them back with the lyrics from Oscar the Grouch's Christmas song. "I'd rather have a holiday like normal Grouches do: instead of giving presents they take presents back from you!"


Also, apparently for some people viewing my account my default icon is Not My Actual Icon. It's still me in the hat with my flying aliens. Anything other than that and you're just seeing things.

Oh for heaven's sake, really? I don't look at the front page ever, so.

I can't imagine anyone is answering them seriously.

I've been over reading threads and comments in Warren Ellis' LiveJournal (warren_ellis), and now I come back to this. I must say, I'm certainly in the proper mood. But the first set of reactions I've had toward Best Buy doing this are certainly way out of proportion.

I have a car. I believe there is still a Best Buy in town. I could drive out there and head butt one of their employees, shouting "WHAT WOULD SPIDER BUY?!?" But I don't think that'd really accomplish anything.

This is why I usually ask almost exclusively for used books purchased online and the occasional small store trinket.
