The hope is that Cannon will help with "innovating in the consumer electronics space and particularly the space that empowers young people," RadioShack Chief Marketing Officer Michael Tatelman told USA TODAY. Tatelman declined to discuss Cannon's compensation.

 

[egruntz]

Lol okay. Well... best of luck to him and the company in this new position? I don't know what to say.

 

[Tom Nook]

I thought the company went out of business.

 

[Stabby McSter]

RIP in pieces new Radio Shack

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Young people? Nick is 40

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Wait, I thought Radio Shack folded.

In fact I seem to remember them folding a few times.

I'm so confused.

 

[QuantumBro]

Didn't they basically close the company last year?

 

[backflip10019]

haha what

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Came for an article with a guy coincidentally named Nick Cannon. Shocked it is that Nick Cannon and that Radio Shack is still in business. Eh good luck?

 

[notsol337]

I was a store manager for RadioShack. They were purchased by a company called Standard General, and they closed 80% or so of the stores (including mine). They will never, ever get it together. Ever.

What young person in 2015 almost 2016 gives a fuck about Nick Cannon. A lot of them probably don't know who h is. RadioShack is a sinking ship, it is time to give up.

 

[MThanded]

Bruh. No.

 

[daveo42]

I was hoping the name would be a fluke, but nope. Actual Nick Cannon. I mean, anyone could be the head of Radio Shack at this point because nothing is going to stop it from going out of business.

 

[Pinko Marx]

This is more appropriate than it ought to be 😏😏😏😏

This is the new Justin Timberlake MySpace

 

[dankir]

I don't think paying Nick Canon would be a good idea at this point in the company's lifespan.

Also fuck Nick Canon.

 

[blamite]

I thought they became just "The Shack" at some point?

Or am I thinking of Pizza Hut?

I'm so confused.

Even CEO Can't Figure Out How RadioShack Still in Business

 

[-MD-]

Nah, this can't be real.

To attract younger customers, back in July, they did a flash mob with Carlos Mencia and Orlando Jones and started selling speakers with the Wu-Tang Clan logo.

Let that sink in. They thought that would help them in 2015.

All their ideas are terrible.

 

[sarcastor]

This is the new Justin Timberlake MySpace

more like the new Alicia Keys Blackberry

Also Nick Cannon is only 35. And I only know him from Brooklyn 99.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

RadioShack has just gotten thier Carly Finerino moment

 

[sikkinixx]

What... you gonna go tell your mother? Tell your mother I'M CUSSIN' IN THE HOUSE?! THAT'S RIGHT! SHIT!"

 

[perfectchaos007]

The last major Marketing decision the Radio Shack creative team made was to use Lance Armstrong as their spokesman. Then the whole Lance Armstrong cheating scandal blew up. Radio Shack can't do anything right

Wait radio shack is still alive ?

 

[Skellig Gra]

I thought the company went out of business.

I'm positive they did.

 

[Steamlord]

Not surprising, RadioShack has always been about 15 years behind the times.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Nick...........







....... Cannon?





RIP RIP to RadioShack. Congrats for his new gig though.

How did Alicia Keys being Chief Creative Officer for BlackBerry work out?

 

[Mexican Sting]

Why, I just walked past my local Radioshack the other day!

Spoiler

And was completely unsurprised to see an empty space!

 

[Darth Pinche]

I'm so glad those Chapelle gifs were posted. Fuck Nick Cannon. (no offense to the guy, but that is always the first thing that pops in my head when I see him or hear about him)

 

[soul creator]

From the Call of Duty Black Ops 3 ad to this

 

[Tain]

seriously i thought they all closed what is this

 

[neogaffer1]

if they're trying to connect with millenials they hired the wrong person, but they probably don't have the money to hire anybody they should've hired anyways.

How did Alicia Keys being Chief Creative Officer for BlackBerry work out?

she used an iphone to tweet and then they fired her.

Hearing about him always makes me cringe. I feel like he is a cringeworthy, awkward, loser.

Dunno why.

[exmachina64]

Hold on, let me go get the popcorn.

 

[FStop7]

Have any of these desperate stunts ever led to any sort of success?
