So the guy who made this video works for BestBuy. They suspended him and he was almost fired. It made a big news story and then BestBuy reversed their position and said it was fine.

I saw this about a week ago and thought it was hilarious. Didn't know about the story behind it, which is kind of stupid.

Lady wants an iPhone, despite all arguments to the contrary.

That was great. The monotonic speech made it 1000X funnier.

Yeah, that was great. When I get a new phone after moving back to Cali next month, I'm avoiding all iphones or Apple products on matter of principle.

This is great! It's also the same discussion I have with some people on a daily basis.

Do you get less money if you sell the iPhone instead of other stuff? There's not much point in trying to help stupid people.

How long do you suppose it will be before someone gets fired for this?



I'm not a bad enough dude, but I am an edgy little shit. I'll do what I can.

So how could they fire him anyway? I mean he didn't mention Best Buy in the video, and I'm assuming he made it in his off time, so how is it any of their business anywho?
