Sony Raises Price of Whitney Houston's Music 30 Minutes After Death

[ElNono]

"Just 30 minutes after Whitney Houston died, Sony Music raised the price of Houston's greatest hits album, 'Ultimate Collection,' on iTunes and Amazon. Many technologists, including chairman of the NY Tech Meetup Andrew Rasiej, suggests that Sony should be boycotted for the move. In a tweet, Rasiej wrote, 'Geez Sony raised price on Whitney Houston's music 30 min after death was announced. #FAIL...We should boycott Sony.'"

supply and demand. gotta love it.

I would have raised the price on her other albums too.

[The Reckoning]

using the OP logic, might as well boycott all media outlets for pimping her death to sell papers

[ChumpDumper]

You can always not buy the Whitney Houston while the price is high.

Because waiting 45 minutes or 3 hours makes a difference?

Did they also raise the price on the free illegal downloading?

[baseline bum]

I would jack up the price on the DVD of that ty movie she did with Kevin Costner too.

It must have been important to you to start such a silly thread.

I thought it was an interesting topic. Feel free not to participate.

I didn't plan to after my first post. I just thought it was so funny that you post the article that probably most people don't have a second thought about other than it making sense to raise the price, then you act as if you disown it. That is what I find interesting.

Now you might make this too laughable not to participate.

I didn't plan to after my first post.

But you did. And apparently you have nothing to comment on the OP itself.

After two posts.

tbh, the next insightful thread you start will be your first...

Really?:

Buy a clue ElNono.

[ElNono]

Really?:

Considering I lifted it from a news site (which is linked in the OP), apparently some people thought it merited a second thought. Yet, you're ing about me passing it along, not the story itself.

Any comments about the OP itself?

Buy a clue ElNono.

Three posts. I thought you were leaving.

No.

No.

Four posts, and still bringing nothing to the table. No surprises there.

Perhaps is time to start another of your classic crash and burn threads, like "WC's extreme views".

Can't you see, I'm practicing at being a Glob Fly like ElNono. Is it working?

I bet you he pulls the "I'm just trolling, really, I wasn't being serious" card...

I said in my second post, I may as well have a bit of fun...

[ElNono]

Considering you brought nothing else...

[Wild Cobra]

What else can one bring to a totally idiotic thread but a few laughs?
