Anyone seen this, some guy is queueing for a phone that doesn't officially exist.http://macdailynews.com/2011/07/18/queue-begins-for-iphone-5-outside-apple-store-in-london/

Thats a bit too over the top.

A former refuse collector, 29-year-old Rob Shoesmith, “has been given everything from scented candles and aftershave to use of a £20,000 Chevrolet car, £800 worth of outdoor gear and food from top restaurants,” Metro reports. ‘[He] has so far blagged £40,000 worth of gear.”

“The freebie grabbing is part of a publicity stunt while he camps outside London’s flagship Apple store to be first in line for the new iPhone 5 later this year,” Metro reports. “He quit working as a binman three weeks ago to work full-time as a marketing executive for Medl Mobile, which makes apps for Apple phones.”

It's a job, he's not doing it for himself.
