World Record iPhone Line

A week before the release of the new 3G iPhone, several people have formed a line outside of the Apple 5th Avenue cube store in New York City in hopes of obtaining a World Record for the most time spent waiting in line for a purchase.

@gaphoogys You are probably assuming I am an old ass baby boomer whining about technology and shit like that.

Well I'm actually a student who is on his phone constantly. I don't have an iPhone, but I do have a smart phone.

The point I am making, is how people let brands grow so close to them, and how much buying stuff matters in our society. Consume consume consume consume. That is all western society is.
