so lets take a break from the race discussion in ferguson and talk about this

Yeah, what the fuck is up with that? One day, I read that KMart is filing for bankruptcy, the next I hear about it is that their plan to emerge from bankruptcy is to buy Sears.

Not go to Sears and buy a calculator to help them manage their money better. Buy SEARS. ALL of it. The whole company.

How the hell does that work?

Do they still have the no-questions-asked replacement policy on hand tools?

Just a WAG: the link in the OP goes to a video that is preceded by a Sears commercial.

So, let’s take a break from the race discussion to talk about…race.

Because USA Today is keeping The New York Daily News off the bottom of the list.

Hah…sucks to be all of you. No Sears ads here, nor USA Today.

The joys of being Not an American.

Winner winner, chicken dinner.

As far as I know, not for the laser-guided scimitars. For the regular manually-operated ones, yes.

Talk about fighting ignorance… there are still people who see internet ads?

Mr. Potato Head was one of my favorite toys as a kid. I think my parents bought him at Sears.

Me, too. But then I got a scimitar. Now its Mr. Potato Chips.

For the most part, yeah.

I haven’t been to a Sears or KMart in probably close to a decade. But Ace Hardware carries Craftsman now, and I have one just a few blocks down. They’re a little spendy, but closer than Lowe’s or Home Depot. AIUI, Ace does not service warranties on Craftsman tools, though; that’s still through Sears (and now Kmart).

I agree - the Star Trek reboot sucks.

USA Today has advertisers? Sears pays them perfectly good money for that?

Last week I went to Walmart for the first time EVER. For the longest time, they were the largest retailer in America, or something like that, yet I’d never even seen one. Now I’ve been. It was a lot like Kmart.

World. Walmart is the largest retailer in the world.

Yeah, it’s pretty much like Kmart.

Oh dear, looks like the OP has been sent on a permanent break. Guess we’ll never learn his opinion on Sears. Or K-Mart.
