Extended warranties

Just like any brief insurance policy, an extended warranty is only a financial advantage to the minority of customers; it is designed to turn a profit. There's a lot of talk about how they are not only a ripoff, but how much stores like Best Buy and Circuit City will force their employees to push them aggressively.

So, it occured to me: make a T-shirt that says simply, "No, I do not want the extended warranty." It would even be kinda funny when you're not shopping, and I think it would make buying a DVD player with cash a little quicker. Maybe I'll start a CafePress store...
