Really? An epilepsy joke that reinforces incorrect myths of swallowing tongues and shows improper first aid is “classic.” Give me a break.
This is NOT funny.

What’s Circuit City?

Seriously I haven’t been in CC or BB in about a year. I also tend to do most of my electronics shopping online. And Sam’s Club. I don’t know why the memo writer was so upset. It was like having a free ad only funnier.

Seems a bit rash for a joke that pokes fun at something that’s common knowledge. I also work for the company and I’m fairly sure that you can find their business strategy concerning locations on paper in the internal documents.

It would’ve made more sense if they pulled it for jokes about a Going-Out-Of-Business Blowout! Stock and flash drives, $2 each!

The one good thing about the Best Buy/Circuit City situation is………If you can’t find what you want in one, you can probably find it in the other without having to travel across town. Just go across the street. Or in the NYC 5th ave. area…..Go to the shared wall and yell out “HEY DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IPOD TOUCHES IN STOCK OVER THERE!!!!!”

Yeah, you’re right about that Circuit City next to Best Buy on 5th Ave. I work around the block from it. Circuit City opened up there during the holiday season last year, literally next door. I’ve never seen anything more desperate in my life.

That Corp Com manager is genius… and I agree with others when they state that if MAD was going to spoof Circuit, they should have spoofed Worst Buy also…

i wouldn’t say the one in Paramus is “across the street” – across the 6 lane highway and a mile down, maybe …

They had a free year subscription at slickdeals.net — I signed up and got my first issue… i looked through the magazine in about 3 minutes.. it sucks.

It’s funny because there is one basically directly across from best buy on rt. 17…. NJ
