Comments on: Best Buy's Geek Squad jumps on 'Sex' fever

A goofy marketing gimmick plants Geek Squad "agents" in select cities' theaters near screenings for Sex and the City, designed to help male patrons escape the chick flick.

>>The message: Look, Geek Squad won't just fix your computer, it'll fix your sense of masculinity!<<

Because, as we all know, nothing fixes one's sense of masculinity like a sales pitch from a self-described "geek".

Um, the ONLY reason why a wife/girlfriend/sig nif/ whatever would go to see 300 with their husbands/bf's/whatever, is to see the eye candy of muscled men for the gals...so let's not go overboard saying "if you drug her to see 300 then you are obliged...chances are, there wasn't much "dragging" going on.

Why do men feel the need to let their women run their lives nowadays? I don't get that, my wife doesn't "let" or "make" me do anything, I tell her what I am and am not going to do, and our marriage is stronger because of it. You see, she still respects me so everything else falls into place, including great sex ;) No woman respects, or wants to make love to a door mat,

Sheer genius! (Both the GS promo and Caroline's blog.) This is why I'd never dream of dragging my date into "300" or "Beowulf," 'cause I know what the payback would be. The very thought gives me shivers!

The "Peek Squad" will fix your masculinity, allright.

Best Buy's "Geek Squad" - home of the "geeks" that install secret webcams in female customer's bathrooms in order to spy on them, is now helping men "fix their masculinity".

Yeah - you can keep that kind of masculinity.
