real world alert #3: if I could fall into bankruptcy, do you think time would pass me by?

There is some justice in this psychotic world, as CNN reports.

Muzak, the corporation that has driven nametag-wearers worldwide to yearn for the sweet, sweet release of death since about 1936, filed for Chapter 11 yesterday.  These are the sons of whores who pump Elton John and whatever other worthless pop from the Top 40 lists of ten years ago over the PAs of stores the world over.

I personally recall a classmate approaching me while working at Walgreen's, telling me he didn't know how I could possibly cope.  In retrospect, I have no freaking idea how I ever did.

The sad part about this is that it isn't even the economy that's causing it.  Muzak's treasurers are just, putting it charitably, deadbeats:

Muzak's cash flows doubled in the last three years, [CEO Stephen] Villa said, "demonstrating that our business continues to perform well even in today's challenging environment."

The Chapter 11 protections will allow Muzak time to restructure the debt, which was incurred a decade ago, [a spokeswoman] said.

Great job, guys.  Is there a circle of hell for irritators?
