[11th_VA]

A caller to G. Gordon Liddy show today, said he was an employee of Bose (on his lunch break), and said BOSE corporate has ordered all flags, and flag related decorations taken down from all stores so as not to offend customers!!! Caller said one employee refused and quit.

Has anyone else heard about this???

[Smedley]

Doesn't surprise me given Amr Bose is originally Egyption

[Righter-than-Rush]

Post a link to some information on this issue so people can take action. Otherwise, it's just talk.

[FrankOwens]

I heard this today on G Gordon too.


G Gordon said 'put the flags back up. They can't fire you all'.

[k2blader]

Not 'til now. Some "hard copy" would come in handy tho'.

[Mister Baredog]

taken down from all stores so as not to offend customers!!!

That IS definitely OFFENSIVE!

Try Indian. His middle name is Gopal.

I hate Bose. Although they make decent products, they are quite overrated. Also, they are thuggish with their patent lawyers. All of their supposed "breakthroughs" and proprietary ideas are actually long known audio concepts. They either manage to get patents anyways (often happens) and/or they sue anyone into the ground, even if they (bose) are wrong.

Oh, and by the way, he is from Calcutta India.

[caltrop]

I believe Bose's father was from India, not Egypt.

[Coop]

If true, the employee should have refused and not quit. Make them have the nerve to fire him/her.

[Living Free in NH]

What stores does Bose have? I've never seen one.

You could call them and find out if it is true. Otherwise, it's hearsay.

This the Bose wave radio people Paul Harvey is always advertising? This'll make him come back off of vacation next week...

[Leroy S. Mort]

OMG ! Call PAUL HARVEY!!

I have worked and studied the Audio business, design, and manufacturing since the early 1970's.

BOSE SUCKS

[holyscroller]

Hmmm. Seems like I heard something about the guy who started Bose (or maybe it was the guy who invented the technology) went to the Naval Academy.

I'm sure ol' PH will give us "the rest....of the...story"

A caller to G. Gordon Liddy show today

Time to call Paul Harvey's staff in Chicago.
Bose product are big advertizers on his show.

My cousin, an electrial engineer who works for a sound/acoustic supply company,
says that real purists/acoustic engineers regard Bose products as over-priced/over-hyped
and trading on Bose's MIT connection.
I don't know if my cousin (otherwise a "regular guy") is being an elitist...
but he says that Bose gets routinely dissed at meetings of electrical engineers.

BUT...maybe this is just jealousy over the $$$$$ that Bose has probably made off his work.

[bwteim]

Yes, but remember, "Amr Bose is originally EgyptiOn" is standard encryptiAn for Indian.
