This has been a very controversial topic today as an offensive Halloween costume. Originally, Target was selling it - however, many activists requested that it be removed immediately. People on eBay tried to bid on it, as high as $116. It was also removed immediately by eBay as a violation. This is a very controversial topic. What are your thoughts on it?

They also own: Ritz Camera, Wolf Camera, Kits Cameras, Inkley’s and The Camera Shops, and also operates the 130-store Boater’s World Marine Centers chain.
Ritz Camera just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, hurt by the recession and consumers’ shift to digital photography.
Be cautioned if you have warranties or gift cards from them.
With the fuel costs dropping, DHL still is quitting the domestic USA. Seems like they just can’t compete with the 2 800 pound gorillas: UPS and FedEx. Well, FedEx is coming in to steal some business! Get up to 16% off lifelong.
Now that DHL is quitting out of the domestic USA, FedEx is trying to steal their business:I used to work at Circuit City and am surprised they survived so long. While they make the bulk of their cash on Black Friday, they’ve been lagging behind Best Buy and other stores for ages. Their marketing methods and prices just aren’t there. In addition, they invested too much money into the whole DiVx era that failed. We have released an exclusive list for the stores closing down - they are beginning liquidation now, so good luck!
Click here for a list of stores closing. They begin going liquidating today 11/4.

], known for its high-tech novelty gadgets, and Lillian Vernon, which sells low-cost gifts and gadgets through its catalog and Web site, have long been plagued with falling sales.
But an increasingly weak retail environment proved to be the breaking point for the retailers. Consumers have cut back on discretionary spending as credit and housing markets remain weak and high food and gas prices persist.
In an affidavit filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on Tuesday, Sharper Image Chief Financial Officer Rebecca L. Roedell said the company has experienced declining sales since 2004 and recorded net losses in fiscal 2005 to 2007, continuing into 2008.
She said the company is in a “severe liquidity crisis,” hurt by tougher competition, deteriorating gross margins, pending litigation and the volatile credit and financing markets, among other factors.
A rejected settlement offer related to a class-action lawsuit involving its air purifiers led to a drop in the company’s stock price, loss in market confidence and eventually contracted credit terms from vendors and suppliers, Roedell said.
San Francisco-based Sharper Image plans to close 90 of its 184 stores as soon as possible after it sells their inventories. It plans to continue to conduct business as usual while it develops a reorganization plan.
