Bad luck strikes again at Microsoft

First the Seinfeld advertisement and now a new snafu for Microsoft. Is it possible for them to stop stepping in poop?

In what is an incredible stroke of bad luck and a monumental fiasco with dire consequences, Microsoft has unwittingly unleashed a horror of horrors upon their potential customers. Recently, as stated here, Microsoft had intentions of mimicking the success of Apple's Genius support system throughout a number of Best Buy and Circuit City stores. Unfortunately, the memo and official agreements signed by Microsoft and the corresponding consumer electronics stores contained a terrible mistake.

While Microsoft intended to supply "Gurus" to all the stores to help sell and promote Vista on the PC platform, they instead ended up supplying "Grues" to all the stores. Most of the stores first discovered this terrible error when the last person out of the store turned out the lights and the poor soul was eaten. Most recently, a power outage at night in a Best Buy was the scene of a terrible massacre with all the shoppers and employees disappearing in a bloody feast for the grues.

Just when you thought Microsoft's public relations nightmare couldn't be any worse, Microsoft outdoes itself once again.

Thanks to Microsoft, shopping at Best Buy and Circuit City will never be the same again. The best advice is to keep the iPhone flashlight app ready at all times.
