Improv Everywhere Mission: Best Buy
Agent Slavinsky wrote in to suggest I get either a large group of people in blue polo shirts and khakis to enter a Best Buy or a group in red polo shirts and khakis to enter a Target.

Speaking saltily, this is what was known in the good old days as "mindfucking".

Certainly would have made me giggle had I happened to be in that store.
