Best Buy is using one of Chad’s photos from Improv Everywhere’s Best Buy prank on their corporate job application site. Hilarious!
See for yourself: http://www.bestbuy-jobs.com/careers/
I think one of two things happened:
1) a lazy graphics intern just did a google image search for “best buy employees” (we are the first three photos!) and grabbed our photo not realizing what it was.
2) an awesome Best Buy employee purposefully used the photo subversively.
I hope it’s 2. Maybe we should send them a cease and desist to return the favor?
Also, I still get about one email a week from someone writing to Improv Everywhere thinking they’re contacting Best Buy.  (We’re on the front page of a “best buy” search and have at times been as high as #2.)
The prank lives on!
