True, you don't have to deal with traffic. Nor idiots playing pinball with their shopping carts in the store while their heathen children run wild through the aisles. No waiting in line behind 10 people who can't read "Express Lane" where they ALWAYS put the slowest and most mentally challenged cashier.

Instead, you can fill in enough personal info on an e-form to ensure you're going to get more bullshit e-mail than you get bulk rate mail at home. You can fill out all of this info that will invariably be incorrect, at which time you have to remember to go put your acct suffix and whatever in each time you hit enter and it's rejected.

THEN you can wait for this "prize" you paid for 2 days shipping to show up the following week. Only to discover they sent the wrong sh*t, left something out, or their product doesn't use the same sizing you are used to and you need a crow bar to get the crap on.

MUCH better than tooling over to the mall. Or not.
