Please email this guy about * stand-ups in FYE record stores
Please email Mr. John Sullivan at Trans World Entertainment and ask him why they have * standups in their store, but no John Kerry standups. I walked into this record store to support one of the Vote For Change groups, and it pissed me off that there was this standup of *.

So I'm emailing Mr. John Sullivan, corporate VP at Transworld at
[email protected] . I'm asking if this is an endorsement, or whether they plan on having Kerry standups, and whether I should stop my lifetime of shopping at that store.

2. Here's my email to Trans World exec John Sullivan
Hi Mr. Sullivan:

I'm writing to regarding my bad shopping experience in your FYE store in Naples, Florida. Upon entering, I came upon a standup of George Bush. Since I am a John Kerry supporter, I looked for, and didn't find one, of Senator Kerry. Is this is corporate endorsement. If so, please consider this notice that I will no longer buy a couple CD's a month from your stores.
If not, I'd like to know when I'll be able to purchase my John Kerry standup.

Sincerely,

3. I saw it last week when at the mall.
I got home and forgot about until you brought it to my attention again. I just wrote an email. It was at the Crossgates Mall in Albany, NY too, the very same place that got in trouble for removing someone who had an anti-war t-shirt on last year. Thanks for the address and the reminder.

4. You're welcome and glad you're writing
You might want to forward the info to others who will email, because if they get a bunch, they'll start thinking about the $.

5. I had a feeling they're in every one of their stores
Let's let them know we don't appreciate it.

7. Yup!
It's also at my local FYE store in Springfield, MA. I had just gotten out of The Manchurian Candidate and my eyes were assaulted by the sight of Bush standing there. I had to fight the urge to vomit in the doorway of FYE. I guess it would be a good target for darts, though.

6. Ha ha ha ha I wouldn't do that!
Imagine how much funnier it would be if people started stealing them or holding them for ransom or as feanorcurfinwe suggested, defacing them!
