Best Buy Ad's Mention Of Muslim Holiday Irks Some Customers

Doesn't it seem like there's a whole lot of other crap in the world we should be more concerned or "irked" over?

I could be wrong since we only see a fraction of the whole flyer, but was the whole ad pretty much directed at Black Friday and not so much just as a Christmas sale? I know, with all the snowflakes and presents floating every where, it is IMPLIED. But, it just seems to me, that the ad was strictly directed towards a particular shopping day (instead of a holiday) which just so happened to fall on the another religious holiday. Thus, almost implying that, "Hey, happy YOUR holiday! Celebrate it with us by getting good deals!!"

Hell, I don't know. I just think it's so sad, that in this day and age, people get so irritated over the most insignificant things in the grand scheme of things. How about using your effort in a more constructive and helpful way rather than bi*** about an freaking print ad acknowledging your specific belief. Good grief!

Yea that's what I got from the ad too. The ad happened to come out on the Muslim holiday and they acknowledged it. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Its crazy how many insignificant things people can invest time and resources to when there are tons of other social issues that need attention

I guess I'm the only one who thought it would be the Muslims offended at Best Buy for trying to commercialize their religious day. I guess I somehow underestimated the persecuted looney fringe of the Christian movement.

Perhaps BestBuy can make it up to them in February by printing up some "Happy Lent" flyers.

I agree with all your points, certainly, but just so you know, because of your inadvertent typographical error this year I'm going to start going off on people who wish me "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" with accusations of Jew Muslimhood.

As in, to the sad sack Target greeter, "Yeah, sure. It's company policy, but it's all you Jew Muslims' fault for denying the birth of our Savior. I'm taking my business to Wal-Mart. Over there they show a little bit of class. If you ever want me back as a customer, you should learn to respect this country's Christian heritage, Jew Muslim." Then I'll spit on the floor.

'Tis the season, after all.

um, I think he just forgot a comma in between the two words.
