How to deal with cops asking you to leave a store you're videotaping - Improveverywhere invades Best Buy

Kruposays...

This was completely amazing - full story here: http://www.improveverywhere.com/mission_view.php?mission_id=57

Long story short: get a bunch of people to wander into a Best Buy and wander around wearing blue golf shirts and khaki pants.

Note the chaos as the store is overrun by people who look almost identical to real Best Buy employees. Recommend reading the full story in the link above to get the complete story. This vid just documents some of the chaos.

And yes, the managers thought this was a real life version of the climactic scene in the Thomas Crown Affair.

Obviously reminded of this by mlx's recent post - http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=8825

I would've posted this ages ago when I first read of this, but I don't think VS supported Vimeo back then.

Clearly, a bunch of trust-fund babies who've never worked retail.
Did management and mall security overreact? Sure, they always do. But so did the "improv" people.
By the way, it isn't "improv" if you plan it. Idiots.

Theo, of course it's improv. All they had was a time and a date and a place, but everything they said inside was all unscripted. According to your logic, improv shows aren't improv either simply because they plan the date to do it.
So yes, it is improv. Idiot.
