"Its a contradiction of seperation of church and state. Its unconstitutional!"
"They are a private company."
"No, they are a publically traded company..."
"Yes, but they are not owned by the government so that bit of the constitution doesn't apply."
"I am a citizen and an agnostic. I have a right to buy electronic consumer goods on Easter Sunday."
"And they have the right to observe a religous holiday."
"What? What? Are you telling me that Best Buy couldn't find any aethiests or agnostics amongst their staff? How about Muslims or Hindus? How about the Jews?" This last line is deliver with a certain amount of aplomb. Probably akin to the way I imagine Bush would talk to doubters within his own cabinent when questions on the validity of going to war, "How about the WMDs?", after which he would disappear with a flourish and rush up to his bedroom to eat the candy apple Cheney had given him.
