Re: Best Buy Infiltration Prank
So a bunch of people show up somewhere and cause havoc. BIG DEAL! Any group of teenagers could do that. What about the people who thought they knew what they were talking about? How screwed over would you feel if the modem you bought didn't work with your computer system cause the guy was playing a joke? Pretty damn immature if you ask me. Those security guards, etc are just regular people with jobs.why harrass them?

Re: Best Buy Infiltration Prank
for cripes sake, get a sense of humor. This is funny stuff. And those same security pinheads have given me a hard time on one or two occasions, so turnabout is fair play.

Since when is a bunch of losers causing a public nuisence funny? Disrupting other peoples jobs, lives and businesses fun? I supose you think spammers are funny too. If you were the one that had to deal with jerks all day you might think otherwise.

Re: Best Buy Infiltration Prank
I agree with Dosetaker.
As a 'grunt' worker myself, I'd have to say I'd love for something like that to happen where I work. It really would be an interesting departure from the norm.
Look at their other missions: "SUPRISE!" for example. Do you find that funny? Or cool? I found it to be awesome of them. http://www.improveverywhere.com/mission_view.php?mission_id=18
Most of the stuff they do is to make people happy, to spice up daily life, to entertain... and while this Best Buy prank may have not been the greatest idea for those results, it was an interesting prank nonetheless. At least the employees like it.
As a side note, I'd like to point out that the comment "I suppose you think spammers are funny too" is extremely pointless and irrelevant to this conversation. I see no links between ad spammers and a group of pranksters. (And please, don't bother explaining the link.)

Re: Best Buy Infiltration Prank
After much deliberation I have come to a decision. I TAKE IT ALL BACK. Sorry everyone for being a party pooper. I only wanted to point out the people who were put out by this. Why change my mine? Well, I recently had the displeasure of dealing with a Best buy manager. I will save you the specifics, but I only want to say one thing. Sorry Dose and Ma23 and anyone else. I will lighten up.
