I am stunned by this ... whoever briefed Mike and directed this video surely knew the importance of him coming across with absolute authenticity, at this critical time for Best Buys?

To my mind this needed to be a Steve Jobs styled presentation ... in other words a genuine conversation ... not a pitch ... and certainly not read from a teleprompter.

To be fair, he's in a tough spot, and was no doubt pretty nervous!
