Pasadena, Ca. WTF!!!
There is a Line for around the whole block for the Iphone. Why do they have to have it now. Why can't they just buy it from Best Buy or Wal-Mart even Radio Shack in a week. Why do people torture themselves like this. Spending the night in a chair. WHY????
Before they know it, Iphone 5 will be out. I can't believe what people do. It's a work day too, if one of my employees called in sick today then I saw them with a new Iphone tomorrow. I would FIRE THEM. Don't these people work??? It's just a phone. Also, there is one in the mall, and I heard that line is wrapped all through the parking lot. It all comes down to the power of Marketing. Amazing! http://www.cyberagedave.com/iphone.jpg Photo shot by the old phone, IPhone 3G |
alteast there not killing customers coming out of the stores with new ones..like they did with the PlayStation3's

That's where I grew up, love Pasadena.
|
I dont understand the hype with this?!? I mean its great an all, but I would never stand in a freaking line like that to get one!
|
because its cool and people want it NOW!
there is a limited supply and by human nature, we want what we can't have. I went to the mall this morning and the line was out the down the hall, around the corner and almost out the door. Took someone 6 hours to reach the door where I was standing, good thing I left after 30 minutes. a few people that were in line with me were either calling in sick or already have. that IMO is stupid |
|
im waiting for the white one... :helpme
|
I like to use the word Pathetic over amazing.

it's human nature to want/need to be told what to do.
that's why only 1% of the pop are leaders. |

-- or maybe Apple hires them for the day to build buzz? I dunno. My company upgraded my phone, the UPS broad brought it -- no line. |

Maybe you are right, Apple hires about 400K people to stand in line. Great idea. I'm going to try that next time, crash my servers and have people stand in line to by a CyberAge ID. :thumbsup |
This is why you just order online and let them ship it to you.
|
Apple has the launch marketing cycle down better than just about anyone...
|
This is the generation whose parents stood in line and fought each other to buy Cabbage Patch Dolls, Power Rangers, Beanie Babies and the rest of the "must have" toys (which is really all an iphone is for the vast majority of the people in these lines). It makes sense that they think this is normal.
I didn't have to wait in any line to buy my old refurbished Blackberry ;) |
Ordered mine, had it at my doorstep at like 9:30 this am.
|
Some people are so easily influenced...by so many things. Good parallel with the sheep pic.

|

It's a cult.

It's all about being part of a social phenomenon. The need for transcendence is high up in the Maslovian needs hierarchy. This type of social participation though, waiting in line to buy a phone or waiting to watch a movie, is the post WW2 mass consumerist commercialized version of the older modes of transcendentalism--monasticism, spiritualism, etc. Same need, different economic context. Can't really judge which is more worthy.
