Don't buy at Best Buy

Postby Narrock » Wed Nov 22, 2006 11:44 am

Their prices suck anyway, but here's another good reason not to buy from them:



Best Buy Bans Use of Merry Christmas in Advertising


Best Buy has announced they will be using "Happy Holidays" this coming Christmas shopping season, and they will not be using "Merry Christmas." UPDATE! Best Buy is blocking emails! Please call their corporate office and ask for Chairman Schulze to express your displeasure at their "Anti-Christmas" policy. The number is 1-612-291-1000.

Best Buy has announced they will be using "Happy Holidays" this coming Christmas shopping season, and they will not be using "Merry Christmas."

Dawn Bryant, a spokeswoman at Best Buy Co. Inc., says their advertising will not be using the term "Merry Christmas." "We are going to continue to use the term holiday because there are several holidays throughout that time period, and we certainly need to be respectful of all of them," Bryant said. Click here for reference article.

While many other retailers have decided to begin reusing "Merry Christmas", Best Buy will not be among them. Best Buy considers the use of Merry Christmas to be disrespectful. haha wtf?

But while Best Buy, the largest consumer electronics company in the nation, will not be mentioning Christmas, they sure do want the shopping dollars from those who remember the Reason for the season.

Send an e-mail to Best Buy telling them of your disappointment at their decision to ban Christmas in their advertising. (You may receive an auto-reply. If so, that is ok. Don’t worry about it, your e-mail has been received.)

It's just another example of disgusting attacks on Christianity (the majority of Americans) and bending over for the minority.

Everyone has to be so PC now-a-days. I personally don't care one way or the other. It's their job to sell me crap, I could care less about what their stance is on holiday sayings.

Islam is not even close to being as big as Christianity in the United States. I just think that saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" to appease seculars is totally retarded and goes against what the "holiday" season is all about... the birth of Jesus Christ.

Well one wasnt jesus born sometime in august, second some people are not christian, but have their own holidays around the same time of year * shocker * three You can celebrate any way you want to, if you wish to think its about jesus birth day and not a retail driven holiday that christians created to get other cultures to follow their beliefs - feel free to send out merry xmas cards.

Alot of major businesses now use happy holidays as there is more than one culture or religion with in america - isnt that one of those fine things that make america great?

I do on one hand disagree with the over PC views with in America, on the other hand I think this time of year is the one time to celebrate diversity and happy holidays mixes everyone in fairly well.
