Gerald 'my products r crap n there4 my customers r equally crap n stupid' Ratner


Although widely regarded as "tacky", the shops and their wares were nevertheless extremely popular with the public, until Ratner made a speech at the Institute of Directors on April 23, 1991. During the speech, he said:

“ We also do cut-glass sherry decanters complete with six glasses on a silver-plated tray that your butler can serve you drinks on, all for £4.95. People say, "How can you sell this for such a low price?" I say, because it's total crap. ”

He compounded this by going on to remark that some of the earrings were "cheaper than an M&S prawn sandwich but probably wouldn't last as long."

The speech was instantly seized upon by the media, and an estimated £500m was wiped from the value of the company. He was sacked 18 months later

Best Buy has awfully shitty customer service. Try getting them to fix anything you buy there, even if it's under warranty.

Fine seeing as U've asked.


basically PRINCE has taken my money over the years (I even bought N.E.W.S) went thru a bad patch where ppl deserted him and said he was finished and now when he's got a bit of his fame & credibility back in the spotlight he shits on his fans and their right to express themselves of fansites..reminds of that scene in UTCM when P asks mary "Whys Ur dad such a punk, why does he shit on so many people" P should ask himself that...

4 God sake all this ownership crap he gets involved in is petty, uncool, makes him look like he's got a complex and worse yes worse of all shows that the business side of P overshadows the spirtual side that he's led mofo's 2 believe he is...what a genius but what a jerk.

He's 50 now almost, probs got another 20-25 years tops left on this earth, is this how he wants 2 be remembered...U can't take it with U , U know and he can't own the rights 2 songs and websites in the afterlife so chill, count Ur yayo and make some more good music, not dumbass trouble

Nuff said.

This is the moment British politician John Prescott punched one of the tax paying British public just 4 throwing a 3 pence Lidl's egg at him.

The same way PRINCE has punched his fans in the face by not letting us express our ourselves and appreciation 4 his work.
