Me going to the stores on Black Friday when the stores don't have great deals is like me hanging lights on a Christmas tree that nobody put up. My tradition only works if the stores fulfill their part of the bargain. ]]>Nov 15th 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/Nov 15th 2008 1:52PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/Nov 15th 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/Nov 15th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/Nov 15th 2008 12:30PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/Nov 15th 2008 12:33PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/
(what with them filing chapter 11 bankruptcy and all)]]>Nov 15th 2008 12:44PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/
Chapter 11 allows the company to reorganize while it tries to become profitable again. It doesn't mean total liquidation of the company's assets.

A recent example is United Airlines. It declared Chapter 11 in December of 2002 and emerged from bankruptcy in February of 2006.

Circuit City will continue to operate some of its branches while it tries to streamline and reorganize its operations. It should still be a good choice for those looking for bargains on Black Friday.]]>Nov 15th 2008 4:32PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/15/poll-what-are-you-snagging-on-black-friday/
Actually I'm well aware of what chapter 11 bankruptcy means.

I'm also well aware that some companies can and have returned from it and back to some sort of health.

My comment tho was based on those events and in the context of the current economic climate.
It's hardly a sign of 'rude health', hence why I asked if they were joking.

US retail sales numbers just took a record dive and US unemployment just hit a 14yr high, in case you haven't heard.

The outlook is absolutely not that things are just about to turn a corner for the better any time soon either.

I think it's a valid question, if none too serious.

With Circuit City just asking for chapter 11 & retail sales off plumbing the subterranean depths for the next 'x' number of months is a pic showing a CC store surrounded by a stack of people a (mean) joke?

I bet it's totally hilarious to any full-time CC employees right now, eh?
