Eric Rhodes is a dirtbag - LOL!

[HD Radio Farce]

"Gorman wrote a piece a few months back about Casablanca Records
pressing a million copies of a Cher album just so the company's CEO
could go on the Today show and claim it shipped "platinum". The same
thing applies to HD Radio chips. They count the chips manufactured,
not sold. Did you see the e-mail from Radio Ink's Eric Rhodes
claiming
they sold 50% more HD radios than their "shipment"? That is very
misleading. How many radios were in their shipment? 5? 10? 15? It is
that kind "Tin Men" mathematics that kills the credibility of those
connected with HD Radio. Eric Rhodes should be ashamed of himself. Or
maybe he should go back to selling radio stations vans and juke box
trucks."

And:

"This is really bush league. This is the text from Eric Rhodes: Good
news! Though we never anticipated selling the entire shipment of
Mighty Red HD Radio receivers from a note I wrote last week, we sold
out in four hours. In fact, since many people bought multiple units,
we sold about 50 percent more than our shipment. (Okay, Eric - how
many did you ship? You bought three, you sold six? You bought four,
you sold two?) Therefore, the people at Ibiquity immediately
contacted
the manufacturer and ordered another shipment, which they believe
will
be in the U.S. and available for shipment in time to arrive for
Christmas. (That's rich! Where is this secret manufacturer who will
make more radios just for you?) We thought you should know in case
you
want to get in on the next shipment before Christmas. (Order before
midnight tonight...call 1-800....Eric you should be ashamed of
yourself. This is such low ball stuff. You should be above this by
now)."
