So long Kmart. o7
Why the clickbait? Just put where it is in the title and save us a click
Because they need site traffic ad views to pay the electric bill.
Bridgehampton, New York.
Fucking clickbait headlines.
So we going or what?
It was in the handle though, so that’s a bit better?
Well ship.
let’s not forget one of the best holiday ad campaigns in recent history was from Kmart.
may they ship their pants eternal in blue.

Didn’t realize K-mart was even still in business.
Where have you been buying your Ks?
I shop at S-Mart for all my letter-based shopping needs. I shop smart, at S-Mart
Groovy
You’re buying K’s? I only buy vowels.
Hopefully this means that when I search for Kmart items I’ll finally only get Australian results for things I can actually buy, rather than stupid Google search results offering USA results, even when I tell it that I’m in Australia where Kmart is alive and well with apparently 301 stores in the country.
Here’s an example of me searching for “kmart sandles” on “google.com.au”
Google will still find a way to fuck up.
Ever since it became about engagement rather than the right results, the writing was on the wall.
Fortunately this means that there are significant opportunities for search competition. The only thing you need to do is give better results than Google.
Just like all the search engines before Google, it too will become a footnote in the history of the internet.
I was shocked when I found a legit s-mart in (the real) northern California, I’d always thought it was Sam Rami poking fun at k-mart. I haven’t been past that particular store in 15 years, but I wouldn’t be shocked at all to learn that it’s still going. And that it survived k-mart, it’s an interesting time we live in.
Oh great, now Peace & Love, Inc. by Information Society is going to be totally dated. How is anyone going to know what “a blue light special on truth” means now, let alone why it’s “the hottest thing with the youth.”
