Oh Black Friday how I loathe you. You taunt me with your sweet deals. Flashing me with super low prices on large LCD HDTVs, so that I can see the high-def craters on Morpheus’ face in The Matrix, a 10mp slim camera that fits in your pocket, for those whip-it-out moments when your friend’s face is being defiled by penis drawings because he was the first to crash on the bed, a GPS system for those times when you missed a damn turn and end up in the ghetto part of town, and let’s not forget the cheap deals for new laptops, for when your dad is attempting to use your computer for the first time and now your computer is infected, rendering your computer useless. Damn you Black Friday! Well, it’s my fault for being a slave to you and your capitalistic holiday.
As of today, Circuit City has filed for bankruptcy. This news just comes a few weeks after they have announced that they would be closing 155 stores. It seems the holiday season can’t even save Circuit City in the short term.
All I have to say it that I’m going to miss it. I had fond memories of the place as a kid. It was a big part of me back then. That’s where I bought my first home theatre system. ::sniffles::

As we’ve heard the news on Monday, Circuit City (or Shitty) announced that it’s in financial crisis and will be closing over 150 stores. I must admit, I’m one of the people that didn’t help at all, by shopping at their rival store Best Buy.
For the few who do shop at Circuit City, it should be no surprise to you that this was inevitable. My insider source (my friend who works there), said that on Saturday, during his 8 hour shift, a total of 20 people showed up to the store. To me, that just shows a sign of trouble, and if you can count the people with your hands and feet, that’s bad. I also found out from him that his store will be closing around the end of January of 2009. I’m not going to lie, I’m going to miss that store.
