I whipped out my credit card but pulled it back and simply told them I changed my mind and would buy everything at Circuit City and walked out. LOL- payback is a bi***

Odds of this story even being remotely true ~0%

Ah yes, because lawyers should use strictly professional language even when not doing their jobs. You know, the way everyone else is the same at work and at home.

There's a difference between using outside of work language, and speaking like you're 11.
So if one says "y'all", does that suddenly invalidate any advanced degrees? If you're going in for a medical procedure, and your highly-regarded surgeon says "ain't", do you flee in terror?

I have no reason to believe you're highly regarded.
You also have no reason to believe I'm a surgeon, since I didn't make that claim. But still, brilliant retort. I was totally burned, dude.

Wow, such large e-penises around this place. Anybody care to discuss this deal instead? That is, if you can even call it a deal.

That's quite an exciting life you have going for yourself. You were willing to waste 45 minutes of a lunch hour that you were spending alone, to harass Best Buy employees for an ad mistake that hasn't been published yet.

What's on your agenda for the evening, returning some old socks to Kmart because they had a typo on their website?

LOL Yeah really. I'm sure lawadvocate thought he was going to sound so cool to everyone for posting that, but he comes across as someone without a life.

Actually I was billing my clients out at $350/hr sitting by the geek squad area-when you have been screwed as much by a retailer as much as I have been by Bestbuy its nice to have some fun with them from time to time. Now get back to work shingletingle- and yes I would like some fries with that

Ok, you got me. Anyone who hangs out in the Geek Squad area of Best Buy during lunch hour has to have a very full life. Hopefully you'll get lucky and the Kmart will have a Little Cesars where you can kick it.

Sorry for the inconvenience, however we will give free, a monster cable set, valued at $100 for every plasma purchased. An incredible deal. Thanks for shopping Worst Buy.

dude was often used back in 70's by hippies. so is it your malformed opinion anyone that was a flower child was 11 yr old mentally? my grandfather had said dude a few times, was he 11 even though he served in wwar2? people that think one can only be grown and proffesional if they speak 100 % correct english and pretend to be a bore like danimal. maybe danimal stands for DEAD ANIMAL

This Best Buy bashing is OLD. Get over it. I think its tremendous that they're giving an INSTANT rebate of THAT much ($100.00) even over sale priced items. Most retailers wouldn't bother and just tell you TOUGH LUCK.

If you're impressed by $100 off a plasma there's a lot of retailers who would like you on their mailing list.

I wouldn't call $100 off inflated prices a deal or a remedy for a knowingly false ad to be run in the future. BB's obligation when finding out about the "mistake" is to make every effort to withdraw the ad before it comes out- not to promote their other plasmas. In most locales small claims courts are very cheap and easy and this is right up their alley. Best Buy is, at best, in a gray area with this which could go for or against them in different jurisdictions. Their ad is an offer which has tons of small print but they are putting it out in the future after learning it is false without, seemingly, any efforts at stopping it from coming out. .

Since you are such an expert, care to tell us which law BB broke?
