1. I hate circuit city

Ever since that DivX fiasco. We never shop there.

4. Ha. I could tell you stories about the DIVX fiasco...

I helped implement Zenith's DIVX player. Back then it was called (the project name) "Zoom".

Zenith had no choice in the matter; Circuit City told us; "You either implement a Zoom player for us, or we stop selling Zenith TVs."

As shaky as Zenith was then (1998) this was a death threat.

I was not surprised when it failed.

7. know anyone who actually bought a Divx player?

it would be almost useless now

2. I have heard a lot of PSA ads on his show that AAR started with

and lots of down time (music playing now)

They just had the Public Service Announcement about "How to talk to your kids about school" that we all got very sick of the first few weeks of on Air America.

The AM station he is on here in Richmond switched their talk radio to 1340 and it is very hard to pick it up now.

3. someone pays for PSAs

they are basically free advertising

5. They're based out of Richmond, VA... so no surprise there

Their exec board members are big time donors to Eric Cantor, RNC, and Bush. I buy my electronics elsewhere since I found that out.

6. Here's my letter. Please join me in expressing my contempt

for Circuit City and Sean Hannity.

Dear Sirs/ Madams, I just wanted to inform you that I will no longer patronize your store now that you have decided to sponsor that lying hate-monger Sean Hannity. We are all judged by the company we keep and, judging by the company that you keep, you are not worthy of my time or support. I will be forwarding a copy of this e-mail to my closest friends. I sincerely hope that you regret your decision. Sincerely, Irk the Smirk
