Circuit City wants to unfire its fired workers

Ha ha ha. Circuit City made one of those textbook mass firings happen back in March. They wanted to cut costs so they ditched their 3,400 highest paid employees in the usual bloodletting that Corporate America loves so much.
The move came back like a ninja, sneaking into Circuit City's room and slitting its April sales with the keen edged blade of clueless employees frustrating big-ticket buyers.
An amazing bit of karma coming around to bite Circuit City on its collective C-level asses was revealed at Consumerist. They want some of those fired people back, and sent one of them a letter that promptly ended up on the blog...
I was one of the 3400 employees let go by Circuit City in March because leading my department to number one in the region for the month of December didn't mean I was worth $11.35/hour. Whatever, I was quitting to get married and substitute teach in two months anyway, so it was fine with me. Anyway, today I received this letter that I thought was cute:I think this ex-employee has a position he'd like to suggest to Circuit City. Something involving painful contortions followed by the insertion of uncomfortable objects into available orifices.
Dear [redacted],
This letter is a special invitation to rejoin the Circuit City team. We're a new Circuit City with a lot to offer our customers...and you. If you're interested - and I hope you are - we have a position waiting for you at any Circuit City superstore.
