Pranksters pulled a stunt at the Best Buy on 23rd Street in Manhattan in which around 80 “agents” dressed like employees from the store, infiltrated the store, let customers and employees alike assume what they wanted, and waited to see what would happen. Seems like a good way to say, “Lighten up, New York!” Read all about the hysterical venture. Trust me, it’s worth it. It involves cops with guns and a large, female, power hungry manager.
Then, after a successful mission, they made sweet T-shirts that were being sold at the most awesomest store ever, and this poor guy got a Cease & Desist notice from Best Buy just for writing about the T-shirts in his blog, which they ended up apologizing for. I think Best Buy needs to remove the stick from its sphincter and learn how to laugh.
