Blockbuster (BBI) has finally come to the same realization most of the world had in April: There's no good reason for it to buy Circuit City (CC), another foundering retailer. So it's ditching those [..]

Too funny. Circuit City headquarters recently had a fit when it discovered that the latest issue of MAD Magazine, a publication that it offers in its retail stores, ran a spoof called “Sucker City”.
