Holy crap!

I was looking at buyblue.org Circuit City,Dominoes Pizza and Best Buy is more Republican than Clear Channel.

For you gamers Activision is Republican and Electronic Arts is Democrat

Does anyone know which way 'Bush's Baked Beans' leans?

1. I knew about Dominoes

Despite delivering pizza that tastes like cardboard, they deliver profits to anti-choice groups.

The rest I don't know about, but I do have quite a few EA sport games.

2. Love EA Games. After all they say to CHALLENGE EVERYTHING!!

3. Best Buy always treats me like shit anyways.......

I had to "ask" to buy a digital camera last year- the clerk was eagerly showing all the features of a camera to a family that looked well off (they didn't buy). He then proceded to restock shelves and tried his best to ignore me. I had just clocked out from the tire factory and didn't want to make the drive on my day off. Hey boy, I look like crap but my money is just as green as anyone else! I went back to buy a Direct-tivo thingy and I was so ignored I left and bought it elsewhere!

I hate Domino's pizza too! When it comes to computer games I am above politics- a good game is a good game!

7. Heh. Buy a radio. Then say you'll install it yourself.

They start saying, well the warranty is void then. I opened the box in front of them and read the warranty out loud. Only thing I see here is improper installation. They proceed to claim that failure to have their goons install the radio is considered improper installation.

I looked him straight in the eyes and said out loud to make sure half the store heard it:

"So what you are saying is that a Fucking Mechanical engineer is unable to wire up a simple stereo into a car! Its only 11 wires - A big yellow one, I red one, a black one and 8 speaker wires that are orange, gray, green and Purple. But You tell me I'm not good enough to install an simple radio, Well fine, your not good enough a salesclerk to not lie to me, and you are certainly not good enough for my money. Here, rip off your next customer!

And of course I went elsewhere, wired it myself, and it still works.

11. I went to Best Buy once because they advertised the PC I wanted

at half price.

Guess what, they had it marked up twice the retail value and then "halved" that.

I bought it at CompUSA for less than Best Buy's "half" price.

4. Anything that both makes you think of Dubyah AND fart probably

should be avoided. If they are blue they should do a Prince and change their name to something else and call themselves the beans formerly known as Bush's.

6. I don't care if EA pretends to be Blue, it is a cancer...

and I won't buy anything the produce. They are the most cutthroat corporatist scum in the gaming industry. Their labor practices are so horrible they face class action law suits. Every company they acquire is turned to shit.

Frankly, I have no faith in BuyBlue.com I think it's a front, taking advantage of the feckless and naive.

8. Actually they don't pretend to be blue they are :)

and looks like I've struck a nerve but I'll give you the benefit my *cough*eeper friend if you can provide links to support any of these claims you've made like they "cutthroat corporatist scum" and "Their labor practices are so horrible", as for your 2 last claims, I'm sure every company of their size faces law-suits its not a big deal and I'm not even going to address the last assertion because you are just maundering.



I'm going to save what you said in case you edit it again :)

"I don't care if EA pretends to be Blue, it is a cancer..."

10. EA has a history of bad practices according to the following...

There was the class action suit.

There is also the spouse's account.

These are the first two I found on a search, but for anyone that looks at slashdot frequently there have been many, many more articles about EA and their practices.
