The truth hurts for those who can't understand many simply enjoy the experience.
Out of curiosity, why didnt you just order online?
Im assuming some people were tied up and missed the earliest pre-orders, but even a day or so later, the shipment/delivery dates were still only a day or so further out.
Personally, I like going to an Apple Store and physically handing over the money to receive my iPad rather than it just showing up on my porch. Plus, I think it'd be fun to wait in line with other people who love Apple.
Or there are just some who enjoy/get a kick out of doing it occasionally. I'm and engineer , with wife and kids so it's not like its something I do often , and be it back for Star Wars tickets back in 99 (I saw the original opening in theaters also) or something like this , it's fun for some to sit all night under a nice night sky , in a comfortable chair , and shoot the breeze with fellow folks that 99.99% of the time are friendly , there for their own enthusiasm and enjoy the experience also...
A lot of people seem to WANT TO SEE PEOPLE UNHAPPY, because their lives are. They don't like to see people having fun doing seemingly mundane things like standing in line.
Lining up overnight for a chance at "new iPad" is the manifestation of growing idolatry and materialism, which just shows how shallow our society is becoming...
Anyone lining up to scalp an iPad is simply taking advantage of a solid business opportunity.
The truth is often unpopular.

What's really funny to me, is the guy (lady?) posting how 'shallow our society is becoming' while plugging three apps, one called chicken grab (ROFL)...could be a guy promoting his own effort to further how shallow our society is while adding to growing materialism...or..could just be (via my wanna be stand up friends) a lonely soul one sandwich short of a picnic.
Most amusing to me is this picture they often paint of just a line of scalpers. Again , they are usually less than 1% of the lines I've been in over the years just as they were long ago.
It's mainly enthusiasts , and often over half I'd say are over 30 working adults who just enjoy talking the talk with lots of other folks they wouldnt ever meet.
That social experience thing just stumps some people I know.
