Best Buy sends New Egg Cease & Desist letter for using the term "Geek".

Best Buy sends New Egg a Cease & Desist letter for their phrases “Geek your Geek on” and “Take it from a Geek”. Read more about it at the link above.

Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you AND FUCK YOU BEST BUY. You don’t OWN the world, or the dictionary. The term Geek is a actual word (noun) in the English Language Meriam Webster’s Dictionary. Go die Best Buy, you have no right to say who can use the term. You are a SORRY excuse for the word Geek. The employees of Geek Squad know absolutely nothing about technology - I bought a computer earlier this year and it was a dead-out-of-the-box computer. I had to wait in line at the service counter to get someone to look at it, even though I just bought it an hour before. The girl takes it from me and treats me like a retard from the get-go stating “did I unplug it and plug it back in”. The answer was yes, I did. So then she plugs it all in tries to turn it on, and SURPRISE! It doesn’t turn on for her either. That is when she does the most RIDICULOUS thing ever. She starts mashing the power button over and over and over, violently, like it’s going to magically come on the 30th time you press the button. Well let me tell you what. I have GEEK in my name. GEEK on my blog. GEEK in my slogans. And I am the Mother Geek to Lady Gaga’s Mother Monster, and you all are my little Geeks, and I would like to see them TRY to take my site down if it ever branches off and becomes more of a professional thing and less of a Tumblr thing. LIKE TO SEE THEM TRY.

God bless you <3 One of the many reasons why I will never work at Best Buy: I’m overqualified. Their employees are as blatant and narcissistic as most GameStop employees. “Geek Squad” employees are so ignorant about their lack of tech knowledge.
