    After the crap that Circuit City pulled with DIVX - which was an astonishingly vile idea, a DVD competitor format that required ongoing payments for each 48-hour period in which you watched a movie - this is no more than they deserve.

    Unfortunately, the management bastards at Circuit City who approved the DIVX concept are surely still set for life. While many of the store clerks and other workers who were the victims of management's stupidity are probably now struggling on the edge of bankruptcy.
