    What I got from that article is that Xhibit Corp is the biggest idiot in the room.

    I was on a flight once and the lady next to me was using the glasses you can watch a movie on.

    A girl I dated 15 years ago had a clock from SkyMall ...

    Other than that I never knew anyone ordered from it.

    “I don’t think [SkyMall] had a compelling identity,”

    Disagree.

    SkyMall was that time killer you flipped through waiting to turn on your Kindle at 10k feet.

    “You sit on a plane, and you expect to see a SkyMall catalog,”

    That is their identity ... but sadly not a profitable one.

    Sounds like they want a bailout.

    Frequent flyers believe it is too big to fail.

    I called on 'em one time, about 10 years ago. Buyer for my category was a smokin' hot blonde with an impressive set of titties. One way or another I'm guessing she's doing just fine...
