Internal (And Most Likely Unintentional) Irony Department:

In light of your semi-gleeful screed in regard to the image marketing of Best Buy's newest mandate for their Geek Squad, I was wondering what the visual for this post was communicating to me.

Only guys (not gals) with GQ good looks and tool belts have the competence to install my home entertainment network.

It begs the question, would Mike Holmes be as good as he is if he didn't look as good as he does?

Hey, you love to pontificate on stuff that bugs you. I love to punch up irony wherever I find it. The fact is that I create enough of my own irony to keep anybody entertained pretty well continuously.

I suspect that if one is not regularly "hoisted by their own petard" they ain't tryin'!

Shalom

FP, all I'm saying, especially in regard to Best Buy's Geek Squad is don't hold your breath holding out for an AV installer who is a minority woman, that's all.

Most good wire monkeys tend to be slimly built, the better to make their way through attics and crawl spaces, so they're not usually as buff as the dude pictured above.
