  It’s true. North America does in fact exist on planet earth.

  All three of these businesses were worldwide so fail.

  Except for circuit City before some “akchually” guy corrects me, but it was still multinational (as in 2 nations to be exact).

  Yeah, ToysRUs is alive and well in Canada. I have no idea that the bottom-right one is.

      It’s a Circuit City.

      I bought my first PC’s parts all from TigerDirect’s website. Did a bunch of my research for it using their catalogue.

      Nowadays I’m just happy to live an hour from a Microcenter.

        TigerDirect eventually acquired the rights for the Circuit City name, years after the stores closed. They were great for awhile, it was just weird that they tried to revive the brand.

        I bought my first PC parts at CompUSA, which… I don’t think I’ve seen for a very long time lol. Definitely used TigerDirect when I was in college though.

  Once again “the earth” is supposedly synonymous with “that one country in North America”…

  they gave North American examples but the statement is universally true
