Best Buy Hands Out Cease & Desist Letters for Christmas

arrenlex writes "Improv Everywhere, a NY-based comedy group, was served a Cease & Desist notice by Best Buy for selling 'improv everywhere' shirts modeled after the blue Best Buy uniform. But that's not the interesting part. From the blog post: 'Here's where the story gets interesting. Today, Best Buy sent a C&D to our friend Scott Beale over at laughingsquid.com threatening legal action unless he removes the blog post referencing our shirts! They're threatening to sue someone for just covering the news story of the shirts!'"

Another company for the list

Wow, Best Buy is now on my list right next to WalMart (you should know why) and McDonalds (crap-ass disgusting food) for places that I refuse to shop at. Maybe my little contribution won't hurt their bottom line, but I'd rather spend my money someplace that doesn't pull this kind of garbage.

Re:What is Best Buy thinking?

They don't want someone wearing the shirt to enter the store to pretend to be an employee. The customer might think they're getting excellent customer service from an imposter. [obvious mode=on] Well, if they're getting excellent customer service at BEST BUY, then it has to be an impostor! [obvious mode=off]
