So You Want an iPhone 4G?

The suspended and then recently reinstated Best Buy employee, Brian Maupin, got so fed up with making excuses why his store had no iPhone 4G’s in stock, that he put together one of the most hilarious videos I have seen in a long time. Warning: the video is sprinkled with colorful language.

The video portrays an electronics store employee trying to convince a person wanting an iPhone 4 to buy an HTC EVO 4G instead. The video has had about seven million views.The video was made by Brian Maupin, a 25-year-old from Kansas City, Mo. For the past three and a half years he worked at Best Buy selling mobile phones, something he may decide never to do again. This comes after he was suspended from work and faced threats of being fired. Maupin explained Best Buy felt it disparaged a brand they carried (iPhone/Apple) as well as the store itself and were fearful of stockholders and customers being turned off to Best Buy Mobile. But if you watch the video, you will see there is not any mention of Best Buy at all. The cartoon employee identifies the store as Phone Mart. The characters are not wearing anything that resembles the Best Buy uniform and are standing in an outdoor field with a pink tree. Best Buy recently announced they will not fire Maupin.
