About eight months ago, a new clothing store called "GERMER'S" rolled into
town here.  The place started out in a large yellow tent, and about 3 months
later moved into a horrendously ugly yellow building.  The store gets a lot
of attention around here because of its loud, offensive (to some) commercials
featuring some guy who yells a lot and throws things at the camera.  In one ad
that ran for a weeks or so, he had his head shaved on camera -- about a month
later he shaved the heads of two women, etc. etc.  Really stupid stuff.

Now, I heard a rumor that this outfit hops around the country, opens a store,
raises a little hell, and then skips town (not necessarily in any illegal
sense) after about a year.  Is this true?  The cities I heard that they have
been in before are St. Louis and Fresno.

Any horror stories about the outfit are welcome, and even encouraged.  The
number of people who are sick and tired of this place and its asinine ads
is overwhelming, but as one of the local tv station managers says, the tv
stations can't really decide NOT to sell the guy advertising time.
