Best Buy feels bad about Circuit City, really

Best-buy copy

More than a few people have detected a whiff of sarcasm in this Best Buy sign, in which the electronics retailer pretends not to be pleased as hell over the demise of a top rival. As College OTR puts it: "Best Buy Making the Most Out of the Recession by Being Dicks." Via BuzzFeed.

Hahaha...It should read:

We regret to inform you that because we matched their prices we put those Mofos out of business so now we can...and will charge whatever the hell we want!!!!

Enjoy the higher prices!

Your friendly Neighborhood Best Buy!

I don't think that they are even attempting to be funny. For what? They are actually being smart because I'm pretty sure they are watching their back for the "smart" individuals that come into Best Buy and request a price match. Just because it is Circuit City and they were once their competitors.

I would hope they aren't matching Circuit City prices. Circuit City still charges more than Best Buy - even during this great big going out of business 'Sale'.
