Back of the Bus

The new Geek Squad ad shows a mother and her teenage son shopping for computers. When informed of getting a "Geek Squad" employee to help them with their purchase; the mother picks out one person, the teenage boy picks out a different Geek Squad member - a cute girl. When his mother casually mentions that her Geek Squad pick has certain important features, the boy orders his mother to "... go get the car."

Really?

Really.

Her son, who, it is assumed from the relationship in the ad is "getting" this computer from his mother instead of buying it himself, orders his mother into, what I assume is, HER CAR.

Really.

Best Buy - you might want to check out a little show called Mad Men. It's a show set in the 1960's about the left over attitudes from the 1950's.
