Yep, only shitty tshirts for every shitty Top 40 band in America get plastered in their windows!
Expecting much from Hot Topic at this point is foolish, as you pointed out. But if they are going to make promises to bands, distributors, and promoters - they are extending that service, it's not about being "owed" anything other than what they themselves promised. When they habitually break contracts it's just bad business, even in terms of their own profit margins.
As KontanKarite said, promoting can be a bitch, and when anyone hinders your efforts it's frustrating. I know that "hot topic sucks" is the most overdone topic, but I felt this was from a different perspective. If you felt it was such a waste of your time to think about, you could have just skipped over the thread.
