Saw these in Target as I hit the fourth and last store in my area trying
to score some cheap Duraloops.

Seriously? a 2500 mAh NiMH D cell? So you want me to pay the same price
for a 2-pack of fake ass D cells as I would for a GOOD pack of 4 AAs
that each have almost the same capacity? Are you HIGH?
But wait, there's more

they come in C cell size too! Oh joy!
I mean, really. It's not that they managed to put out a *bad* cell, to
make one this pathetic takes real effort. It's like they're just saying
"**** you, consumers, we want to sell you our (admittedly excellent)
lithium primaries, so we're going to make our rechargeables suck so much
dong that if you're dumb enough to actually buy them the taste in your
mouth will be literally like kissing your crazy bipolar ex-girlfriend,
but without any of the good parts."
And *good* brands like Eneloop, Maha Imedion, and Tenergy Centura are
nowhere to be seen on your average store's shelves. (Notable exception:
I have seen Tenergy Centuras in C, D, and 9V - but not in AA or AAA - on
the shelf at Micro Center.)
Am I alone in being insulted by this?
I'm insulted by the language you used in this post.

Wow, really? A little salty language is more offensive to you than a
major corporation deliberately ripping off consumers? I'm trying to
help you (collective) here, you know. Feel free to not read my posts.

Probably a P.L.L.C.F. female. Remember, they believe in freedom of
speech as long as it's only their speech. There is also that speech
control thing and Political Correctness where you can't say certain
words or you will lose your job and/or media empire. ^_^
