The thing that goes through my head is that there is no shortage of stupid people on this planet. That includes writers for Rolling Stone.

Sam Ash has $40 off of a $299 purchase. Code: IRENE Okay, with that out of the way, are Sam Ash's marketing people retarded? Seriously, a promo based on a potentially huge and life threatening natural disaster? Next they word the promo like this: "$40 off thousands of our best selling items over $299." Okay, I get what they are saying, but that wording is ignorant. It makes it sound like you have to buy thousands of items (and they have to be best selling) priced at $299 to save $40. So spend $299,000 and get $40 off. Next, their slogan is "Music Gear at the Speed of Sound." Mission statements, tag lines, etc. are fine, but they need to be somewhat realistic and based on truth. What does that even mean? If they can't get an order to your door at approximately 340 miles per second, then they are not living up to their promise. Or do all of their individual music items have the ability to move at the rate of sound? i.e. do their guitars have built in jet engines? I own a business and try hard to carefully word things in ad copy and so forth. It's like they have a bunch of drunk monkeys in their marketing department.
