According to the blackfriday.info website, Radio Shack doesn't appear to

Radio shack has ceased to be an electronics store long ago.
It is now just another redundant home electronics and telephone store.
I am amazed that anyone buys anything in there anyway.
If you need a telephone or a DVD player or similar you can
get the same item or better at WalMart for half the price they ask.
The people who staff it from local management to the pimply-faced
teenager wouldn't know WTF a resistor is, let alone a shortwave radio.
Heck, they have enough trouble looking up a replacement battery
for a cordless phone which are grossly overpriced as well.

In three years I see them declaring Bankruptcy and dissappearing
from the USA retail scene. Good riddence to as their recent management
all but killed off their most dedicated customer base years ago.

Maybe so, but they did fire their CEO fairly recently. He was the one
who had a bogus degree in Theology, as if that was what was needed to
run a business like theirs.

Great if you have to pray to god to make the payroll.

Good point! An excellent example of the above is
Trinity Broadcasting Network or "TBN" as it is called.
Right now it's their 'pledge week' where they have the
unmitigated gaul to ask for people to send them $100
or $200 or $500 or $1000 because "Jesus wants you to
sow your seed faith gift and receive a FINANCIAL BLESSING
in return...." What a load of vine-ripened horse shi+ !

You have to admit however that TBN does know how to rake in
the cash from all those people living in trailer parks all across
America! I mean they got the overweight sweaty black preacher
man, the tall & good looking white guy in the $700 suit, the
short blond haired 'golden boy' preacher who is concerned
about America and finally the fat bitch in the OUTRAGEOUS
HAIRDOO complete with mascara that runs down her face
when she cries the blues 'about the chill-drens'.

Couple all of this with a blues band and a sound stage backdrop
that looks like the inside lobby of a New Orleans Whorehouse
1 block off of Bourbon St and you got all the makings of a TRUE
GENUINE AMERICAN WHITE TRASH moneymaking machine
for Jay-zeeeeus!! (Praize da Laaawwwwwddddddd Y'all!!)
