As if Circuit City didn't already have enough problems (with a quarterly loss of $16 million), two men who worked at a Philly area Circuit City are alleging that their general manager sexually harassed them. [Philadelphia Inquirer]

I'm appalled. To thing that someone could be so stupiid. I mean, how fucked up do you have to believe something like this:
"This was a huge company . . . with upward-mobility possibilities . . . and career opportunities which seemed very bright," he said."
Whenever I see these male against male allegations, I can't help but wonder if it's trumped up charges by homophobic nazis against a queer scapegoat. This is Pennsylvania, no gay person wins a sexual harrassment suit.
The first thing I thought about was the 40 Year Old Virgin and Jane Lynch's character as Steve Carell's boss offers to be his F--- Buddy, while at the Circuit City-esque electronics store they work at. I worked at a Circuit City one Christmas and their depiction was spot on.
I am really surprised that sort of thing happend at such a big chain store. It was very creepy that some manager figured he could get away with that sort of deviant behavior without paying the piper sometime. I hope Cicuit City gets hit hard for that and that the manager in question is fired and charged for his actions.
