CHiPs are down on Geek Squad’s cars

I’m not sure what’s more disturbing - The fact that the CHP really thinks that people may confuse new Beetles for their squad cars, or the fact that Geek Squad is taking it so seriously. I didn’t realize, being a geek, that I was part of such an oppressed minority.

My favourite quote? ‘”The next time the California Highway Patrol has a computer problem,” warned Stephens, “we’ll remind them about the paint job.”‘ Whoa. The figurehead of a corporation, publicly calling out a law enforcement agency? Like I want to let these dweebs inside my house to work on my computer. Seriously, I always thought these guys were a little strange, but this just proves it…

The next time a Geek Squad car breaks down on the highway, I’m sure the CHP will remind them about their attitude.
