- Barman, on 07/13/2008, -7/+113Without reading I can tell that confession is "I masturbate a lot"
- JukesDen, on 07/14/2008, -1/+89I think the article is missing the later confessions that day
4:20pm
"We finally got home. I ran into my basement bedroom and told my grandmother that as I'm 35, I deserve some privacy. Alone at last, we both sat on the bed. I gently opened the box... I began to remove its wrapping...I took in the fragrance of its virgin, smooth surface... never touched before....We were both so nervous.." - RyanCoke, on 07/13/2008, -4/+56I don't mind the iPhone, I've got nothing bad to say about the product; but please people, don't let consumerism run your life! It's just a product. It won't make you cooler than you already are. Those hours are gone. Imagine what you could have done.
- lucy22, on 07/13/2008, -5/+49Poor guy really wanted the phone.
- bixby1, on 07/13/2008, -0/+42The photo of this guy just screams "I waited 7 hours...."
- Wootstapler, on 07/13/2008, -2/+36"I knew that the black would do a better job hiding smudges and fingerprints."
Fail. - mattmartinez, on 07/13/2008, -0/+32I like how there's a "Sponsored by Windows Mobile" banner at the top of the page.
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -10/+41I would be ragging on ANYONE wasting 7 hours of their life in a line to get any product that they could easily get a few days or weeks later with no wait. But that's beside the point.
Plus your analogy sucks. People waiting in line for the "Xbox 720" would imply that it's a new product. This is just the old iPhone with 3G support and GPS. So it's basically a minor upgrade. That's why it's ***** stupid to wait 7 hours to get a slightly faster iPhone with GPS support. Wow.
And your last paragraph just proves your status of an Apple fanboy. The iPhone is a pocket computer? Give me a ***** break. It offers nothing that dozens of other, cheaper, older phones have for quite a while now. So my statement of "It's just a cell phone" is spot-on. You write as if the iPhone is amazing because it can play music, browse the internet, and has GPS. Guess what? I can go into any electronics store and point to dozens that have done that for years. - KiwiRocket, on 07/13/2008, -2/+28What's really lame is he already had an iphone.
- CoreyHalliwell, on 07/13/2008, -8/+33News Flash Apple Fanbois:
1) It's just a computer
2) It's just a phone. - hiddencatch, on 07/13/2008, -0/+25"...and based on past experience with my earlier iPhone and iPod, I knew that the black would do a better job hiding smudges and fingerprints."
That's the direct opposite of what I've been reading about black/white iPhones - epadafunk, on 07/13/2008, -12/+35Get a life.
- lolwutpear, on 07/14/2008, -0/+20hey, we masturbators don't want our good names soiled by apple fanatics
- lazyrussian, on 07/14/2008, -2/+21He mentioned food like 15 times in that post.
Food, iPhone, Twitter - a Fat ***** wet dream. - dOOBiEx213, on 07/14/2008, -2/+20Agreed. He need not confess... we already know he's retarded.
- gfxlonghorn, on 07/14/2008, -0/+17The only time I have ever waited in a line for more than 2 hours was for Black Friday, for a 350 dollar projector with screen. One of the best buys I have ever made in my life, but I only waited in line for that because it was a one time opportunity thing. I can't justify waiting in line for ***** that I could get the next day.
- reposado, on 07/14/2008, -7/+24A sega genesis plays games. And its not a playstation 3.
- Antixian, on 07/14/2008, -0/+16for an editor he needs to stop this *****..."about 100 people ahead of me on line". he used "on line" several times and it pissed me off to read it each time.
- Zalyster, on 07/13/2008, -1/+16"I posted the list to Twitter, and added that I would also bring a handgun and gasmask. I was kidding about that."
Thanks for clarifying, I had no idea. - bblande, on 07/13/2008, -5/+18My phone is 3G, plays music and TV, surfs the Internet and takes pictures/video. And it's not an iPhone.
- DaHuuuuuudge, on 07/14/2008, -0/+13This comment was painful to read.
- CreativeGuy, on 07/13/2008, -10/+22I hope the iPhone gave you a blowjob... otherwise you're an idiot for waiting in a line that long for ANYTHING!
- filmbandit, on 07/14/2008, -2/+13aw his lifestyle choice made his feet hurt
- SilverBack101, on 07/13/2008, -1/+12Should have a picture where he says,"This is the moment where some of folks in line began to cannibalize on fellow unconscious members of the line...I'm ashamed to say I partook in some of this activity. Conveniently this meant the line was able to move forward by a few people."
- Eddible, on 07/14/2008, -1/+11This guy is a ***** idiot.
- Bhatch514, on 07/14/2008, -0/+10you wait in line for blow jobs?
- huggybarrel, on 07/14/2008, -0/+10why do people say they're standing "on line" and not "in line"? I tend to think I know english pretty well, but maybe this is one that's slipped past me. I've heard it used several times recently, and I don't undersand it.
- melidian, on 07/14/2008, -0/+10I'm appalled this guy considers himself a "journalist."
- emanaydin, on 07/14/2008, -0/+9the black shows finger prints a lot more than the white.. he claimed opposite
- virtualball, on 07/14/2008, -1/+10Seriously, this is news? If the thoughts of people who waited in line for tech is news, then I'd rather hear about the people who waited hours upon hours for the PS3 only to find out each store would only have ~5. That sounds better than someone who waited 7 hours for a phone...
- nzhamstar, on 07/14/2008, -4/+13Its just a phone. Get over it.
- squirrelza, on 07/13/2008, -0/+8Oh man, I can hardly wait 10 minutes in line at school to order food.
- Troy64, on 07/14/2008, -2/+10I don't think I would be sharing that information.
- onClipEvent, on 07/14/2008, -4/+12Unless you're lining up to buy water in the middle of the desert, a *truly* well-adjusted and enlightened person would never spend that much time trying to buy anything, especially for a manufactured good so trivial (trivial in the grand scheme of things) such as a cool phone, an xbox, or whatever. I personally won't call them douchbags, but i will encourage them to get out more, because their scope of what's important is so shallow and focuses so much on material goods.
People need to step back once in a while....
Sorry, I study philosophy. - prgmctan, on 07/14/2008, -0/+7kind of like those tools who have to post '/sarcasm' after everything
- gracias, on 07/14/2008, -0/+7These are the people that use Twitter.
- DD00, on 07/14/2008, -1/+8Not many people want to wait in line to eat undercooked rat meat.
- Suprfire, on 07/14/2008, -1/+8but. but ... but.........
*****. - riverstyx, on 07/14/2008, -2/+9A fool and his money (And time..) are soon parted.
- inactive, on 07/14/2008, -0/+7AydenV2,
If the best experiences in your life revolve around consumer product releases at shopping malls, I pity you, I really do. Somehow waiting in line to see a Star wars film is less lame than iPhone line sitting somehow... - chaoswings, on 07/14/2008, -0/+7Rat meat? I see your school used gourmet ingredients. All we ever got was gruel.
- DIAF, on 07/14/2008, -0/+6So you are assuming that you are better off than many user here? And because of that it is justified to wait 7 hours in line?
The "flamming" has nothing to do with costs. Its the idea of wasting your time for something you can acquire easily later on.
Or since you judge through income, wouldnt the optimal way to get this be to simply pay extra and not wait in line at all? - CatsAreGods, on 07/14/2008, -0/+6No, we'll be getting an iPod Touch instead!
- kenvsryu, on 07/14/2008, -1/+7and 20 days for drivers.
- filmbandit, on 07/13/2008, -5/+10people sure do want their stuff these days, and they want it NOW. kinda sick
- Callik, on 07/13/2008, -2/+7I waited 45 mins in line to pick up GTA4 at midnight. That's about the sum total of my 'waiting in line for launch stuff' experience. If the line was anywhere as long as the one this guy describes I would've thought "***** that, it can wait till tomorrow" and done something else.
- estacado, on 07/13/2008, -5/+10A prime example of an Apple fanboy.
