It’s not always possible to say precisely where an idea came from, but in the case of Moss’s experience in last night’s IT Crowd ‘Italian For Beginners’, I can. (Spoiler alert, obviously)

Twenty five year old Brian Maupin of Kansas City, Missouri has worked for Best Buy in their mobile phones department for the last three years. That is until recently when Best Buy has been taking steps to terminate him based on a couple funny videos that he made pitting the Android based HTC Evo against the new iPhone 4. After the videos were released Best Buy confronted Maupin after somehow figuring out that he is behind the YouTube name “Tiny Watch Productions” which produces indie type films made with friends. Best Buy stated “They felt it disparaged a brand they carried (iPhone/Apple) as well as the store itself and were fearful of stockholders & customers being turned off to Best Buy Mobile,”. The thing is that nowhere in the videos are there any references to Best Buy’s brand or name in fact in the beginning of the video the name Phone Mart is used. This morning Best Buy asked Maupin to resign from his job but he refused. Their response was to suspend him and telling him that he would most likely be terminated after Best Buy Human Resources reviewed the case. In his defense, Maupin issues this statement that “The video was intended to be comedic and hence, not taken seriously by them or all these stockholders & customers they are worried about [being] turned off to buying from them due to the video.” So far the videos have reached over 1.3 million views and growing. If you haven’t watched the video yet I encourage you to check it out (as it’s hilarious) and give us your opinions on it and the issue between Best Buy and Brian Maupin in the comments. language warning Click here to view the embedded video.
