About This Video
A public service announcement: Van's first. Addressed to Home Depot corporate: please, for the love of God, turn off the music. Silence or classical. Those are the only acceptable choices.
Van is a citizen of Topanga Lumber and Hardware Company, which is silent like church. But Topanga Lumber can't stock everything, so he drives to Home Depot with the resigned commitment of a man who carries their Visa. The music is cruel. Cruel to patrons, cruel to employees. Whoever chooses it either doesn't like music or doesn't like people or doesn't shop at Home Depot. Van has been working to acquire enough influence to make this appeal. 367,000 subscribers, deployed toward a single objective: flip the switch. God bless hardware stores everywhere.
