April 9th 2008 - I called it -Nevar Forgets Circuit Shitty (NVGR)
NO LONGER WORKS AT DESTRUCTOID | 9:12 AM on 11.03.2008 24 comments




Boom! This shit is finally hitting the fan in full force
20% of Circuit Shittys are going going gone! And... if they dont make the big ganksta dollas by Jesus' Birthday... they go bye bye. I wish someone had teh smartz to see thi.... wait a minute.... I fucking did!
http://money.cnn.com/2008/11/03/news/companies/circuit_city.ap/index.htm?postversion=2008110309
My Matlockery knows no bounds.
Let's go back in time bitches.

As some of you may remember, I made a post last April. A few days later the shit hit the fan with Circuit city. Even more prophetic was that on some old podcasts I said that "the only thing that could possibly make Circuuit Shitty go down faster is if a company like Blockbuster try to buy them." Guess fucking what? It happened. Blockbuster tried indeed. Anyways, it seems news hit the mainstream today. Good-fucking-bye Circuit Shitty. As usual, Im some kind of goddamn drunk mad scientist and always seem to call this stuff. Here was my post:

If you get really bored, go back to some of the old Podtoid's where you friend Captain Greybush talked about a big happy American funtime company called Circuit Shitty. It seems that the common sense I discussed is finally hitting home to the fucktards that run the company.

Even trickling down to individual stores, I have always thought that everything about the store was uninviting when compared to Best Buy. Circuit Shitty did not take note of the mistake that Sears made back in the day and now they are paying for it.

This colapse really began at the tail end of the 90's when Circuit Shitty banded everything on Divx winning out over Blu-ray. Yes, I doubt that most of you know what in the fuck I am talking about. Basically, Circuit Shitty was at the forefront of a battle against DVD in the format wars. Much like HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray, but just without the public knowledge. Circuit Shitty lost big time. Fucking tons of money. They went on tell sell off the stake they had in Divx (Who laughably went on to become huge) and have been tumbling ever since.

I hate Circuit Shitty and I don't even know why. Oh, because they got themselves so high up in the layer cake that they forgot what shit smells like. The curse of many industry analysts. Well, Captain stupid fucking redneck Ron lives in Das Shitten, and I know what it smells like.

Congrats to all of the top brass at Circuit Shitty for destroying lives and pissing away insane amounts of trusting investors money. Punk bitches like you should have to serve prison time for the wake of your ignorance.

Im some stupid redneck that granted, does get paid from time to time to work as an analyst for companies like yourself... whoops, actually unlike you because these people have common sense and give a shit. It is often my job to make the future clear and determine what needs to be done to insure that those things are in the best interest of the investors. I know everybody is the worlds greatest arm-chair stock broker (If you dont know, thats like an armchair quarterback. A person that yells at the TV telling Brett Farvrrerve where the onpen man is and how Brett is an idiot for not have a 60 inch Plasma inside his helmt.) But when I ran through my "theory" that the big CC was going down, I actually had a ton of stuff to back it up.

Everytime I go into a chain store and they ask for my phone number I say no. Then they say they have to have it. Then I say I wont give it because I dont want phone calls because they go bankrupt and have to sell off the data. Then they say, OMG OMG we will never go under, than I say, look fuckbag, I dont have a phone, and when they move you from counter #4 to the head office, I will let you give me advice. Now ring up my blowup catsuit and let me fucking leave. Then my phone usually rings in my pocket around the same time. The point is, size doesnt matter. Ever heard of Enron? One of the biggest companies ever. MCI? As a matter of fact, they both went under in the same year. 2 of the top 5 biggest companies in the world fell in 1 year. In other words, faithful Circuit Shitty shoppers, enjoy your 3 AM calls from broken English Jones wanting to clean your carpet for 39 bucks.

Fuck you Circuit Shitty.

Greybush mindless nonsensical rant over.

Go Cougars!

I personally will be sorry to see Circuit City go. Back in the day when their employees actually worked on commision, and they needed to actually have knowledge about the electronics they were selling, Circuit City was an awesome place to shop. It made all the stupid foolish teenagers and college students working at Best Buy seem like a bunch of uneducated morons.

It was when Circuit City went away from their commision based system to the hourly system that I think things went wrong. Then going to Circuit City was no different from going to Best Buy, except that you felt like you were talking into a dungeon at Circuit City.

If Circuit City truly does go it will be missed by me! :-(

Spacecat gets another feather in his/her/its cap.

Circuit City is dead, and Best Buy is in no place to gloat, because Walmart is very busy trying to take them out.

Can we all agree that Circuity City is the best place to buy games right now? I mean lately every week they have been giving away $10 or $15 gift cards with the release of new games, and this week you can get $20 worth of XBLA points when you buy Gears of War 2 from them. They are certainly trying their hardest to sell games I'll give them that much, even if they are losing money in the process. If anything, as gamers, we can at least capitalize off of their demise.

People at circuit city don't know anything about their products. Whenever I went to my local store (only when Best Buy and Target were out of stock) I had to find everything on my own.

I hate circuit city. They asked for something like 50 dollars to look at my computer and tell me that it has been bent (clearly visable) the CD drive laser was not aligned right so I could not use it(false) and recommended I buy product X(did not work with my computer). Went to Best Buy they charged nothing to look at it, because they couldn't fix it, tried to get CC CD drive to work, failed, didn't charge for that either, and then sold me a working CD drive for 1/3 of the price of the other one. Good riddance circuit shitty.

Oy! I work part time (basically I make up my own schedule, lol) at Best Buy just for something to do, and I'm a university student! =P But I must agree with how 80% of the people that work there are uninformed retards with no knowledge about stuff in their department, regardless of what they think . . . =(

Former Circuit City commission employee here. I actually got sent to a training in Chicago for 2 days when I started there. They paid for most everything, hotel, and gas were covered. The only thing we had to pay for was dinner, breakfast and lunches were covered. And yes it was an actual real training, I did lean a lot. I had friends in busier stores that were making a lot of money selling big screen TV's. Shortly after I left they went non commission and I feel it was never the same after that. I haven't been in one in at least 4 years.

Funny side note, when one of my co workers left he changed what was written on the bottom of the receipt. Instead of reading "Thank you for shopping at Circuit City," he changed it to "Thank you for shopping at Jerk it Silly." Took a month before a customer realized it.

Good riddance. I've never had a good experience shopping at Circuit City. They deserve it.

It's just like when you said EA was announcing that they'd be publishing a Bungie game!
