Are these people rich or in welfare?

Who can afford to be out of work for a week?

Maybe they took vacation ...... but what a way to pass a week vacation, sitting in the heat and rain!!!!!!!

Agree kid should not be there. Probably will get sick. Kid will probably end up as brain dead as the parents.

"So the next day, Steve Jobs went to see them; only this time with his poor old customers. An' within an hour, the customers each signed certified checks for $199(+ tax) for the 8GB Model or $299(+ tax) for the 16GB Model. ["How'd he do that?"] Steve made them an offer they couldn't refuse. ["What was that?"] Steve Jobs held a gun to their heads and assured them that either their brains, or their signatures, would be on the contracts. That's a true story."🙂

Nice! 🙂

It may be time to watch the GF series again. Haven't seen them in a while.
 
If those people were standing there protesting something, they'd be shooed away or thrown in jail.

Interesting the cops will let people stand in line who are there to buy something.
 
Insane!

What is wrong with these people???!!! Obviously, they have no jobs to worry about, but don't they care about their valuable time at all? Are people really this lame???

Utterly baffled...
 
I don't see how this would be a world record, either, if that is their goal. I thought I remembered some people camping out for the game consoles for longer than that.

Still, people are overreacting – as if the kid is simply laid out in the sun with no one to care for it.

Actually, it's a web page on the internet, which, as we know, is global – with participants from all over the world. 😉

Agreed.

Though, it is safe to say that such a harsh environment for a child is quite extreme and may contribute to health-related consequences.
 
Oh C'mon!

This isn't a limited edition. This isn't something that won't be available after July 11th. You *DON'T* have to wait in line for it, nor do you have to have the first one. There's no difference between one you get July 11th and one you get July 25th. If anything, the latter will be better! Why are these people so obsessed with having an item, that's not going away, the first day it comes out? Are their lives that devoid of meaningful things to talk about that they have to have something like this to give them meaning?!?!

I can see waiting in line for Rolling Stones tickets, or even for a sporting event, or something like that. Those are once in a lifetime events that may never happen again. But an iPhone, or computer game, or something that's a consumer item of non-rarity? Puh-lease!

Don't get me wrong. I waited for this device through the first round of the iPhone, but it ain't going anywhere and I will acquire one in due time. This type of behavior, especially the ones with the child, is absolutely psychotic. Never underestimate the stupidity of irrational people, I guess.

[shakes head and goes back to more meaningful pursuits]
 
Wow, that is dedication

I love the "iDiot" phrase.

I am going to wait a week or two or however long and get one without standing on a ridiculously long line. Though I did get pre-approved by AT&T.
