    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4B3IjHP05o&feature=player_embedded[^] The guy shown in the video below, is the first one to stand in line for the iPad. I have seen people camping before for special offers but this is insane. First, like all other Apple fans he could have ordered it online or even booked online. Second, he does not give a clear answer as to why he wants an iPad. [Edit] Thankfully, he is not an Apple fan. This guy is a obsessive line sitter. http://gizmodo.com/272849/breaking-first-in-line-guy-is-a-pro-linesitter-sweats-a-lot[^] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Packer[^]

        Such April 1st jokes have a "gotcha" somewhere near the end. If the guy is just standing in line to buy something, where's the "gotcha?"

                  i'll feel comfortable laughing at Apple fans the day Microsoft releases a pre-beta of yet another revolutionary new paradigm-changing web framework (which turns out to be more trouble than just writing the JavaScript by hand) and there aren't three weeks of breathless CP comments about it.

                                    I just had a great idea. I'm going to start a company of professional line-standers. You can pay me $15USD/hr and I'll place a stand-in in the line of your choice for you. You can continue your life as a normal person while somebody else stands in line for you. I'm a genius! Next, placing corporate logos on homeless people and calling it "advertising"! I'll be rich!

                                    Don't blame me. I voted for Chuck Norris.

                                      I just had a great idea.

                                      Sorry to say that it is not an original idea. There are professional companies which offer line standing services.

                                        Way to be a downer, Rama. Sheesh.
