Have you ever owned a business? I doubt it. And if you did, it was probably a small business where you didn't provide dental, optical, and health insurance for your employees. I also conjecture that you didn't provide a matching program for a 401k. I'm sure you didn't spend any money on developing a training…

Listen, I hate Best Buy as for the a much as the next guy, but I can say that in the three years I worked there in college, I never saw this being practiced.

@James Wood: Skip to 1:30 seconds... This is how I proposed to my fiancee.

@Hackholm: I got it, I just loved this scene in family guy. Very fitting because the people screaming "save the children" are often the greatest offenders. :) Though, Bono seems to be a straight up nice guy.

@delmuerte: Sure is, but it's a hobby and I enjoy fooling around with it.
