Which One Doesn’t Belong?

February 27, 2009

Love > Hate.

Details after the jump…

Apparently some ignorant customer or employee of Barnes & Noble placed this book in the middle of a window display featuring books about/by Barack Obama. Here’s B&N’s apology.

Barnes & Noble would like to publicly apologize for what happened in our Coral Gables, Florida store. We believe that a customer played a cruel joke and placed an inappropriate title in the front window of our store, where we were featuring books written by or about President Obama. We want to assure our customers that the book placed by someone other than our booksellers was never intended to be included in our display and was removed as soon as we became aware of the situation. We are looking into it and are taking the steps necessary so that it does not happen again. From time to time customers will move titles from one area of the store to another. In this particular case, we do not condone whatever message may have been intended with the placement of this title in our Presidential display. It certainly was not part of our merchandising and we regret that we didn’t see the placement of this title immediately.

Mary Ellen Keating, Spokesperson
Barnes & Noble, Inc.

No need for Al “the perm” Sharpton or Jessie “cut yo nuts off” Jackson to say anything, this was obviously the work of one individual. But I don’t think B&N should be so quick to assume it was a customer. They might wanna take a look at some of their employees at that location.

Go Vote….Get Free Stuff.

November 4, 2008

If you’re not motivated to go and vote despite the fact that gas is high, you’re about to get laid off, the credit market is non-existent, home foreclosures are rampant and over 2,700 soilders have died in Iraq since the start of the war (3/19/03)……then maybe the fact that Crispy Creme, Starbucks and Ben & Jerry’s are all giving away free stuff for voting will be enough motivation for you to get up off of your fat lazy ass and go vote.

Go Vote Tomorrow…

November 3, 2008

…if you haven’t already. Why? Because Jay-Z said so.

Oh yeah, if you’re voting for McCain you have to vote on Wednesday, November 5th.
