images/news/generic.jpgMore bad news for Geek Squad. Consumer-advocate blog Consumerist ran a sting operation to catch a Best Buy Geek Squad member searching for and stealing porn from a customer's computer. The article includes the story with screen captures and a video of the technician's actions. From the article: 'Reached for comment, Geek Squad CEO Robert Stephens expressed desire to launch an internal investigation and said, "If this is true, it's an isolated incident and grounds for termination of the Agent involved." This is not just an isolated incident, according to reports from Geek Squad insiders alleging that Geek Squad techs are stealing porn, images, and music from customer's computers in California, Texas, New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere. Our sources say that some Geek Squad locations have a common computer set up where everyone dumps their plunder to share with the other technicians.'

I didn't know finding porn was that hard!! Can't you just google anything and get like a trillion hits? Why bother steeling it and risking your job?! Some people are really retarded.

I'm not going to say I wouldn't do the same thing if some hot girl asked me to fix her computer. But it's still funny.
