It’s beginning to look a lot like…Soviet Russia. According to some of Engadget’s informants, a line has formed at the 24/7 Fifth Avenue Apple Store in New York City. The purpose of the line? Nobody quite seems sure.
Apple reps apparently say that they’re controlling the crowd of iPhone purchasers, while some people in the line appear to be under the impression that they’ve lined up for the as-of-yet-nonexistent 3G iPhone. Reputedly, yet another group of people says that they just like joining lines.
Okay, I’ve spent my fair share of time in lines for all sorts of things—but always with a purpose, be it the iPhone, or The Phantom Menace. Never have I joined a line just for the hell of it. Maybe on my next vacation.
Mind-boggling.
Apparently, this could also be a line for a meat-grinding machine from an expeditionary occupation force form the planet Zork. Speaks volumes about the state of mind of a majority of people on this planet...
Chomsky would write a book about this.
