Best Buy Invaded By Blue Shirt Improv Artists

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the actual-wisdom-of-the-crowds dept.

deviantphil writes "About 80 Improv Everywhere agents invaded their local Best Buy store wearing blue shirts and Khakis. Eventually they were asked to leave, but not before capturing some great photos and video." From the article: "Security guards and managers started talking to each other frantically on their walkie-talkies and headsets. 'Thomas Crown Affair! Thomas Crown Affair!,' one employee shouted. They were worried that were using our fake uniforms to stage some type of elaborate heist. 'I want every available employee out on the floor RIGHT NOW!'" Their inspired cellphone symphony from this February is also well worth checking out.

    no, slashdot provides links of interest on a single site.

    the squeeze-till-your-bowels-explode race to be the first to post something is for idiot bloggers.

    Didn't you get the memo?

    Every single adult male is a child molesting, sex obsessed, cock throttling pervert. But your status changes once your married though...

    In that case you're a closet child molesting, sex obsessed, cock throttling pervert.

    It's funny in a sad kind of way. If I go to the park with my son, and get involved with "kid's games" other parents get ancy. Same situation, but my wife is playing with the kids, no problems.

    Welcome to America, were all men are immediately considered to be sexual predators.

    I'm reminded of Bertie Wooster stealing policemens' hats. "Well, they like it, just like foxes like to be hunted." It's not coincidental that Wodehouse was popular in Soviet Russia.
    Because, as we all know, in Soviet Russia Jeeves finds stuff on you.

    There was talk that the activists were going to identify us and attack us another time away from the store to get back at the "establishment" and those of us who were helping the "establishment".

    Paranoid much?

    You know about 60-70% of the population will obey an order from a superior in a position of authority even if they know the order is wrong and they could be jeopardizing an innocent person's life.

    You seem to fall into the majority.

    I would suggest you spend more time questioning authority and thinking for yourself, as opposed to letting them do your thinking for you.. it means you can't trust any single source of information, and you can't trust authority. Because to do so would be foolish. But don't take my word for it.

    Google it.

    Then google some of this.
