Normally I don't delve into current events, or for that matter any event. I like to give information on technical problems and show people how to do projects on my blog. But while I was traveling through a Meijer store a week ago I found something so ironic it needed to be shared on the internet. (For those of you who are not familiar with Meijers, it is a shopping center like Wal-Mart only based in the mid-western United States.) While looking to see if there were any PC games on clearance I passed by an inactive Xbox 360 display. But it wasn't turned off, the Xbox on display was just suffering a disturbingly common problem called the Red Ring of Death.
I think it is funny how a store expects you to buy a product that has obvious flaws. True, microsoft is addressing those problems, but that still didn't stifle the chuckle I got walking by this.
Oh yea, I've heard from reliable sources that Meijers has let this go on since at least December. Great business practice.
And if you think that was photoshoped, here is the video:
