Unbelieveable, the Associated Press picked on this story....
Worker in trouble for snarky iPhone-Evo video
By MARIA SUDEKUM FISHER (AP) – 1 hour ago
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Brian Maupin made two snarky online videos poking fun at zealots of the iPhone and the Evo phone, he thought it was just a good way to vent some of the frustrations inherent in selling smart phones.
His employer, Best Buy, thought otherwise, even though the retailer, which sells both phones, isn't mentioned in either video. The company was mentioned, though, in videos Maupin had made earlier.
Maupin, who's been selling phones at a Best Buy store in Independence since 2007, said Friday he was suspended from his part-time job after posting two YouTube videos that slam fans of Apple Inc.'s iPhone 4 and HTC Corp.'s Evo 4G.
Maupin, 25, said he was told Thursday he had a "choice to either quit or the HR people can decide what they want to do." He said he would not quit and was told he could be fired over the matter.
The flap arose after Best Buy found out about two short animated videos Maupin made. The videos depict a "Phone Mart" salesman extolling the virtues of the Evo to an iPhone devotee, who can't be talked out of the decision to buy an iPhone. The salesman, using loads of expletives, continues to try to show the Evo as a superior product.
