Whatever You Do, Don't Drop the Radio!

Biting critique of Radio Shack's decision to drop the Radio.



BTW, if you don't read Consumerist every day, you are depriving yourself a shot of cynical humour that can lift the sourest day and make it dulce de leche.

Now owned by Consumer Reports, Consumerist helps consumers find justice for their product problems, and pokes deserved spotlights at we marketers' most egregious decisions. Like downsizing a product, keeping the price the same, and doing it "to better serve the consumer." Or whatnot. Happily, Consumer Reports did not take the sass out of Consumerist. It's just as bitchy as ever. But now with 100% more ads to subscribe to Consumer Reports! Free! Which, BTW, you should also do.There is nothing more fascinating than reading how CU simulates product use to test products.

Or am I just a big dork?
