1 shot in Conn. Playstation waiting line
My darling brother Chuck and I went to Best Buy on Wednesday and there were people already camping out in front of the store with their tents set up waiting to buy PS3s. It was prolly only 40 degrees out, and I'm guessing there were a good 2 dozen folks out there waiting. It looked like they'd been there for a while already and had 2 days to go yet.
EEDIOTS.
Not that I'm in favor of ass cappage, but maybe in this case, it's a blessing in disguise:
1) The situation probably made the people in line realize that maybe life is a little too short to be standing in line for days in a row for a fucking VIDEO GAME CONSOLE.
2) Hopefully at least a fraction of the people's memories were refreshed on the lesson that we're told time and time again by crime experts: just give them what they're asking for, or take the risk of having extra holes put in your person. Give 'em your credit cards; you can cancel those out. And if you're dumb enough to have $400 the thing costs right there in your pockets in the form of cash money, then maybe you deserve to learn the hard way, you stoopid shit.
I dunno. I guess it just makes me sad that people will go this far out of their way for things (both on the camping out side and the ass-capping side.)
Maybe some good will come out of all of this: the first thing that comes to my mind is a shooter game for PS3 called Grand Theft Parking Lot. Just don't get shot while waiting in line to get it.
