Bose = Crappy, unAmerican systems

[1stFreedom]

Ok folks, if you were planning on buying seriously overpriced Bose systems, consider CAMBRIDGE SOUNDWORKS. They are like 1/2 the price and just as good or better than Bose.

While this may sound like an advocacy post, it's not. Cambridge and Bose have been going at it for years. Time we tipped the scales.

You can find Cambridge speakers at:

Time to do an attitude adjustment on another beneficiary of American values.

So all this Bose bashing, phone calling and nasty emails to Bose is all based on a rumor heard on a radio show?

Too bad no one has one ounce of evidence before they go off half cocked.

Good going guys.

[vin-one]

just called them, sounded like they have gotten plenty of calls, and are issueing a statement
that it is not their policy, and they are very upset about it
I told them the manager who did this should be fired.

>> so as not to offend customers <<

I'm now offically offended. Never have and never will buy any of their products.

AND IF THE US FLAG OFFENDS ANYONE...LEAVE! WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE. We have another freedom in this country, the freedom to leave.

My reply to BOSE

"I was planning to buy a radio and headphones from your company until I learned BOSE is anti-American. I'll make do with what I have. Go to hell."

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

My my my can't fly the American flag in America. I guess this is what is meant by the saying, "Our Diversity Is Our Strength."

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

By the way is there any limit to the insults Americans will take in their own country from these aliens? Is tolerance really worth it or is it something else?

[Imagine]

Why buy Bose? I recently bought a pair of DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY tower speakers, made in Maryland USA. They are simply awsome.

[Salvation]

Time to FReep and/or boycott Bose.

Here is part of the reply I received:

Dear _________,

Thank you for your inquiry. Bose(R) Corporation supports our country,
especially in this time of conflict. We support the American flag and the
demonstration of that flag. There is no policy against the display of the
American flag. Bose is an American company and proud of it

There were decisions made at the local level to take the flag down in
isolated Bose stores. This was a mistake and will be addressed. As a
company, we fly the flag at all times at our office buildings, and many
employees display the flag in their work stations.

If we can be of additional assistance in the future, please contact us toll
