From your FR homepage:

"One could say that Osama bin Laden and these non-nation-state fighters with religious purpose are very similar to those kind of atypical revolutionaries that helped cast off the British crown.” - Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio

One can only assume you posted this because you, yourself, believe it. Comment please.

If one is trying to sell a monitor, it's best to have something up there to show what the picture looks like.

There's plenty of non-controversial stuff they could use to show off the picture quality of their monitors - why should CompUSA's execs pick something that's guaranteed to piss off a large chunk of their customer base? Have they been living in a cave for the last few months and are unaware of the effect this movie has had on people?

To paraphrase Michael Jordan, Republicans buy computers too.

I am POSITIVE you will be pleased with your Dell machines. Also, you may be pleased to know that Dell donates substancially to the Republican party.

Go figure, a self-made multi-billionare; actually believes that the money he earns, is his ....

You are in a great position to make known to the company's management that it is in the cross-hairs of a boycott-in-the-making.

There needs to be a company policy, very clearly stated backed by enforcement, that prevents democrap symps from putting Moore's stuff out for public viewing. The movie is rated R for one thing, and if it were possible, 'D' for dishonest.

You damn right we are. We will not patronize any business that support left-wing causes, especially one that supports pond scum like Michael Moore.

It's time we take a stand. Hitting where it hurts, namely the pocket book, speaks volumes. Let's not forget what Slimfast did to Whoppi's ads several weeks ago. Actions SPEAK!!!!!!!!!!

There are Frys in North Kakkylakky???

They're kind of a joke around here (San Jose). Famously clueless sales-hacks roam the aisles.

Micro-Center has been doing me justice lately.

Whoa! I happen to work at a CompUSA in upstate New York and I can tell you this -- the Micheal Moore thing is NOT run in every store, it's NOT a corporate policy. The discs that they give us to demo have stuff that is suitable for everyone -- things like Finding Nemo, etc. However, the decision to run materials like that is usually left to the discretion of the lead in the consumer electronics department. Maybe there's some lib working out in a store somewhere, of which I have no control of, but I assure you, it's not official CompUSA policy to run any of Moore's stuff. I'll shoot an email to someone about it first thing in the morning, thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Thanks for stepping up to the plate!! If this is true, then someone at CompUSA needs to find other employment. If this is false, your company needs people like you to straighten the facts out. CompUSA is in search of profits, not setting political agendas. To alienate ANY customer on a topic unrelated to technology is 'stupid'.

Yes of course, Tax Government, I believe it, that's why I posted it.

Yes, of course, since I think a "FReep" is a complete waste of time, and counter-productive, I'm against the war.

Nice logic.

Do you think that came from the executive level? I doubt they spend time on decisions that even the lowest paid store employee could make.

Even if they did, so what? Isn't it their discretion?

If you don't like it, you can either a) not patronize them, or b) buy the chain, and change the trailers they play or c)organize a silly protest, and look like a petty fool.

As for me, I couldn't care less what you did.

...who, astonishingly, don't sell on the internet.

The rough on-line equivalent of Fry's is:
