Circuit City mad at Mad magazine
I remember Mad magazine. The fold up joke page. The bad humor. Apparently it’s still around and going strong, has Circuit city pretty pissed off even. In this month’s issue of Mad Magazine, there’s an ad parody for Circuit City that reads Sucker City!. The parody takes aim at the electronics retailer and maybe says what many people were already thinking.

Like how they are always across the street from a Best Buy, Expensive TVs and how the price always goes up right after you bought them. Circuit city is not happy and ordered that all copies being sold at their stores be destroyed. I really doubt that anyone buys Mad Magazines from Best Buy anyway. In the ad you’ll also notice the Wii Epilepsy bundle with optical disc and bitestick controller.

    Circus City suggested that I buy the Extended Warranty Package for my Desktop Computer in case of issues. Just One(1) year later the unit I bought started acting strange and I felt that taking it back to Circuit City would be wise. Not only was I directed back to Hewlett Packard, but I was told that since Circuit City sold the Warranty Package, that Circuit City was responsible for it’s up-keep. What is a person to do? I still have the same unit and it still has strange issues, like now the sound card has died and nobody seems to know why. HELP!!!!
