Bad Time for a Blow Out Sale?

2008_08_20blowout.jpg

While black background/brightly lettered signs on the city's roadsides aim to attract bargain hunters, the location and timing of a clearance sale announcement we discovered two nights ago may strike some as questionable—Wilson Avenue at Murray Road, directly south of the Sunrise Propane explosion site.

Could have been worse. I wonder if some of the prices there are a "steal".

Shock(wave)ing savings!

I live a couple blocks away - this place almost always has some similar "sale" signage there.

IMHO? This post is in bad taste.

buh dum pssh! (sorry I had to)

I always thought the funniest was the Candle Factory Outlet on Hwy 11 on the way to Muskoka that routinely has a "Blow Out Sale"

When does anyone use "blow out" to mean explosion, other than for a tire?
