    It's entirely possible this was an Improv Everywhere stunt. It wouldn't be the first time they've harassed that Best Buy location and
    it does seem their style. They've created fake events and promotions before.

    Who wants to play a game about their job? Granted, a clown probably has a more interesting job than most of us, but still, the last thing I want to do after a long shift is go home and simulate it. #ringlingbrosandbarnumbaileycir...

    I bet the Ringling Bros. game folk were paid to be there....

    Also, what the hell were they thinking releasing that game the same day as MW2?

    I bet that was the idea. "MW2 came out today.... and this Ringling Bros. game did, too."

    I'm sure there's a marketing term for feeding off of another product's hype. #ringlingbrosandbarnumbaileycir...
