I had such high hopes for HD radio! I really did! The first time I learned about HD radio was around late 2003. I remember viewing the Ibiquity website a few times, and thinking to myself, this HD radio thing sounds like a great technology. Well it is 2012, and many radio stations are dumping their HD radio channels. Other stations never gave a damn about the technology, and refused to partake in the scam/sham. One thing that I was never aware of was the fact that radio stations have to pay a licensing fee to use the HD radio technology. This licensing fee is an annual fee that once cost 10,000 dollars a year. The new annual fee has been dropped down to 5,000 dollars a year! What a crock of sh*t! Another thing, HD radio reception is not that great. Ask anybody that owns an HD radio! The last thing that I would like to mention about HD radio is that there is not much of a difference between FM stereo and HD radio sound quality. They pretty much sound the same. To all radio stations that have yet to acquire HD radio, do not do it! Save your money, and hire real talent to bring in more listeners! Peace!

This commercial is not an accurate representation of K-Mart customer service in 1984 or in 2012!
January 29,2006:The Kid takes a Look at Kmart and explains as to why it sucks!
I think that almost every large and small city has a few k-mart stores. K-mart is one store that I rarely visit though. It reminds me of a low scale wal-mart/upscale salvation army. Now, what I want to say is this, K-mart SUCKS! Most K-mart stores still look the same way they did in the 1980's. It is almost as if you are stepping back into time, when you set foot in a K-Mart store. What K-Mart should do is, renovate all of the k-mart stores and add more lighting. I have noticed that many K-Mart stores have dim lighting. Another thing that Krap mart has to do is keep more products in stock! Over the years k-mart has developed an image of being a boring, cheap, and pathetic store. I remember back in the late 1980's, k-mart had a terrific magazine ad campaign. Most of their ads grabbed your attention and were able to get you into the store. In the next few days I will post a couple of k-mart ads from the 1980s. Peace!
Update:
Well, I wrote this entry close to six years ago at the tender age of 22. I still feel the same way about K-Mart, six years later at the age of 28. I am reposting this entry for the simple fact that K-Mart/Sears has recently decided to close more than 100 stores across the U.S. This does not surprise me at all! In 2012, most K-Mart stores still have a dated look, and hardly any decent merchandise in stock. One thing that I forgot to mention in my 2006 post is that K-Mart has higher prices than Wal-Mart. Why go to K-Mart, when Wal-Mart sells stuff for a lot less. TO be honest with you, Sears should close down every K-Mart in the U.S., and liquidate all of Krap Mart's merchandise. That is the only way that Sears is going to stay alive. Seriously. It is a harsh thing to say, but it has to be said. Peace!
