Harbor Freight _lives_ for flyers. And I've seen it work at their store: the target audience is not, I assure you, people who tote around smart phones with a barcode app on it. There _is_ a coupon clipping culture, especially in lower socio-economic strata (where my store happens to be), and HFT exploits it fully.

But the website is actually quite functional once you get past the home page, and they even allow negative reviews of products (surprising given how many of these you'll find). The worst thing about HFT is the third-rate made-in-China knockoffs of expensive power tools they sell... again, appealing to people who couldn't necessarily buy the $300 Fein MultiMaster, but would gladly drop $20 on the "Oscillating Multifunction Power Tool" (MTBF: about 3 uses).

At least their FB page has a street address. You know, the location of the place where they accept money for providing you with the service.

Thanks for continuing to write, Lenny!

Maybe Swisher and Joba can market themselves to reality show people as the "feel-good Yankee retreads," going from town to town, getting in adventures... like Caine in Kung Fu.

Thanks for abiding my error, though: Swisher has proven himself a post-season albatross with not one, but three different teams (his BA with the NYY is .160 in the postseason).

Swisher must go. The sooner, the better. His main intangible is choking in the playoffs--oh wait, that's extremely tangible. Post season batting average (all Yankees): .169; RBI: 6. Read this bottom line detailing 5 years of October uselessness:

I hope he's not on as many meds as the Ma-Sheen. When he starts following Chuck Norris I will be impressed.

Not surprising. Both hang out with porn stars.

The link to his wedding at the bottom of the home page is a nice touch.

In some ways, the criminals that run the bogus fitchabercrombie dot com (don't want to give them a link) have a better web site. Their stores are dark and creepy too--the only thing that's missing from AF's real web site to make it just like their stores is the hyper-loud rave music.
