More as placeholders for their excited employer, who presumably took their place when it was close to begin retailing.

Apple fanboys are the worst.

The aritcle states that they stayed inline until 6am when they were given a voucher that they could then come back at store opening (8am) and pick up their status symbol...errr... I mean cell phone.  The homeless gave the rich guy the voucher for the $35.

They probably should have hung out in front of the store and sold the voucher to the highest bidder when the store opened or was about to open, but what do I know.


but yeah, Apple fan boys are one of the worst fan boy groups out there.  Probably not as overall annoying as Bronies or audiophiles or those morons that get in fights over which city has the best pizza/BBQ/beer, but there are SO many more Apple fan boys that it makes up for it.
