etailers
should be required to shop in their own stores. I spent 45 minutes last
night looking for a DVD at Best Buy. After 15 minutes, I gave up looking
where I thought it should be, and asked one of the customer service reps.
After 10 minutes of her trying to get her computer system to come up with
the information, she finally told me that they had received one copy,
and it was in "special interest". Apparently, special interest
gets substantially less activity than other areas of their rack, as nothing,
and I mean nothing was in alphabetical order. In fact, I'm not sure there
was any order whatsoever. Chaos theory reigned. After another 25 minutes
of scanning the 3 different racks of special interest stuff, (and who
really is interested in Cybererotica, Kung Fu Fighting, and College Girls
Unleashed, anyway?) I finally found the disk
I was looking for.
Eddie Izzard, for those of you who haven't seen his HBO show, is one of the funniest comedians to come out of Britain since the Python gang. He claims to be a transvestite, but not your everyday run of the mill type, he's an "executive transvestite". And quite frankly, his sense of humour is outstanding. I was happy to find the DVD. I'll be queuing it up probably tomorrow to watch.
