Mindless humanoids...
I just made the mistake of walking down O'Farrell on my way home from work and was confronted by nine million morons lined up around the block to be the nine millionth moron with a $500 iPhone.You know, if even HALF of Americans gave even HALF a shit as much about ending the war or violence against women or poverty or governmental corruption or what have you as they do about Paris fucking Hilton and Lindsay fucking Lohan and owning the latest fucking gadget I might have a glimmer of hope for humanity. As it stands, I do not.
Enjoy being good little consumer robots, assholes, but feel free to get the fuck out of my way and stop blocking the goddamn sidewalk!
Happy Friday, y'all! Bzzt.

Right there with you sister! On my lunch break yesterday I walked around the block- giving all of those idiots on the sidewalks dirty looks.
It's completly sickening that people prioritize gadgets over humanity.
On top of it all, I wonder if they realize that by being the consumers they are, they are responsible for keeping the cost of such items as high as they are.

Does it make you feel better that I hadn't even heard of the iPhone until I read it here?
(Of course, I don't even have an iPod) ;p

Could that really be Apple/ATT Employees cheering them on? If so it's a very disturbing image.
Did this guy cure cancer? Eliminate malaria? Nah, just bought a phone!
YAA!
If they're working retail, I'm sure they have crappy benefits, limited vacation and an expensive our of pocket health plan, but they're happy this guy's buying a $500 phone. Everybody cheer now!
