Remember that story the other day, the one about Circuit City getting bent out of shape over a Mad Magazine ad parody?  Well it looks as though the company’s stupidity caught up with them in a hail of blog fire.  There were enough stories posted on the internet shinning a light on the ridiculous error in judgement shown by the retailer, that they have now issued an apology, that somehow got on the internet.

“As a gesture of our apology and deep respect for the folks at MAD Magazine, we are creating a cross-departmental task force to study the importance of humor in the corporate workplace and expect the resulting Powerpoint presentation to top out at least 300 pages, chock full of charts, graphs and company action plans. 

In addition I have offered to send the MAD Magazine Editor a $20.00 Circuit City Gift Card, toward the purchase of a Nintendo Wii….if he can find one!”

Why do these corporations take themselves so seriously?  I mean, doesn’t it seem like this is always how it ends, a public apology.  

Whatever the case kids, you can go back to Circuit City and pick up your copy of Mad Magazine, because I know that’s the first place you think of when you want one
