The spam blockers have won one. I love to see spam that has degenerated so much, in order to avoid spam blockers, that it is no longer legible. This happened a few years ago for text emails, where words like "viagra" became "v14-gr A". Eventually spammers realized that weaseling their spam through the filters didn't do them any good if humans could

i was literally shocked when that story ended with them selling you a Wii. it was such perfect build up for a disappointment

[courtarro]

Don't think of it as a disappointment. I simply can't afford one right now, but I felt like tackling the challenge anyway, for someone else. I had two friends who wanted a Wii, and I figured (correctly) that at least one of them would be without one. Thus, I sold it to them for cost (no profit to me).

No I don't mean your story was a disappointment, I mean after they said "We definitely have enough for everyone in this line and more" that somehow they (Best Buy) would still find a way to screw you--it seemed like I was being set up for a let down

Ah, now that I read closer I see my mistake. I read your comment as "...story ended with selling your Wii". I thought you were worried about my consumerism or something. But yeah, it was a good situation and it really painted that BB in a good light.

Best Buy employees are always weird to me. They act like they have it made for some reason. They must get a ton of free stuff or something. Or maybe it's just a cover for a meth shop in the basement.
