Wait, is Radio Shack getting sexy?

 

In my free time, I like to produce my own music. Part of that hobby is frequenting Radio Shack – of course, until Walmart swallows them whole. I mean, where else can you find a 1/8″ Plug to 2 RCA Plugs Y-Adapter in a pinch? Exactly.

When that time comes, I expect the “Radio Shack Experience” – walls lined with over-priced cell phones, sales clerks in a distracting debate over Jedis vs. zombies, and some walking robotic thing that nearly trips me. Not exactly paradise, but I’m comfortable with it.

However, after an extended hiatus from my Radio Shack visits, I see that they have gone hip. Look out, Hot Topic! I almost felt like I had to show my ID at the door!
