iPhone line forms at Apple's flagship for absolutely no reason
by Joshua Topolsky, posted May 22nd 2008 at 12:35PM

So word on the street (literally) is that a large number of people are queuing in line outside of Apple's flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York City (see above) -- keep in mind the Cube is open 24 hours a day. Our intrepid girl-on-the-scene reports that the group is more than 60-deep, though most people seem confused about what they're waiting for, while some believe they're actually camping out for a 3G iPhone. Meanwhile, Apple reps tell us they're crowd-controlling iPhone buyers because otherwise they would be "screaming" at employees and clogging up the store. See what happens when you get short on stock? More pics after the break.

Are these folks insane? Or is there really a reason why they are doing this? :shrug:

They are drunk from drinking Apple-Steve-Jobs-Kool-aid.

Yeah. There are several people who have not seen the light of day in years that now have sunburns.

oh the joys of the crowd mentality. prolly just a few pranksters wanting to make a line to see how many people would join in.

that would be a money psychology experiment.

Sounds like a fake headline you'd read in the Onion. Except, it's true. Le pathetique.
