Well for black friday people do that stuff as investment, basically people realize they will not get that tv on sale since they are way in the back. So people at the beginning of the line will sell the vouchers, which many stores do. So they get around 600-1000 in just selling vouchers at people who want that item even though they are not saving money.
Plus most of the time the first people get a lot of free stuff, especially if more media covers them. So in reality I see these two guys as doing it as an investment.
But still missing a weeks worth of work for me is like 900 fck I can get two Iphones if I just wait, wtf is wrong with them this is why the education system is so wrong.
I just pray for Jimmy Kimmel interview these guys I see good comedy there.

This guy is a messiah
He puts things in perspective for me... I really am lusting for an iPhone, but there are other priorities in life.. imagine ending up like him... sad.. sad..sad..

They're obviously seeking media attention.
Honestly, is there a point to wait this far in advance?
No. They want to be on TV. Congratz to them. Lets hope this doesnt spur other idiots getting in line days in advance. There are other ways to get your 15 minutes of fame. Ways that leave you with your flippin dignity.
I'll say he's retired...ahem, I mean retarted. This guy is really a whackjob. Can you imagine sitting out in the elements for a week for a cell phone?
yeah, well, nothing says "bleeding edge tech user" like having lived in a lawn chair sans shower for a week.
I'm glad there's people like this in the world, so I don't have to do it. What's funny is the guy will probably be so tired by friday evening from having not slept on the street that he'll sleep through the initial few minutes of availability and miss his chance to own one. Then we'll all laugh and point.

Great message we're sending...
First the PS3, now the iPhone - we are willing to "camp out" for a $600 electronic toy....

It's a flip phone? What have been reading about for the last 6 months?
Flippin is British slang for crazy, us American's use it for an alternative for a foul word.
