Who would wait a week in line for an iPhone 3G?
Heyward, Casey, Dane, Daniel and Kaitlin
Who’s crazy enough to camp out for a week on the streets of New York City for a chance to be first to buy an iPhone 3G?
TheWhoFarm, that’s who, a newly minted publicity-seeking environmental collective with an agrico-political mission: to persuade the 44th President of the U.S. — whoever that turns out to be — to transform the White House’s 17-acre lawn into an organic farm.
“We’re here to restore the edible landscape,” says Daniel Bowman Simon, 28, the group’s organizer and spokesperson and a young man given to making grand pronouncements. “We want to bring seeds of change back to the White House.”
Daniel and his supporters — there are 10 in town this week, but only five braved the rain that soaked the city overnight Friday – want to set a new Guinness World Record for “longest time waiting in line to buy something.”
But that’s just a vehicle to get attention for their broader concerns — sustainability, affordable housing, energy security, locally-grown food (New York State apples are a big theme this week), and “eating right,” says Simon, “especially our leaders.”
In an open letter to several of those leaders — including Steve Jobs, Sen. Hillary Clinton and Mayor Michael Bloomburg — entitled “Waiting for Apples in the Big Apple,” the group lists the tasks it hopes to accomplish in the week they will spend camping out in front of the big glass cube of Apple’s (AAPL) New York City flagship store:
- We will spend a lot of time in a great public space, around the clock.
- We will use mobile solar power from Solar1.
- We will drink NYC’s renowned tap water.
- We will have local healthy food (especially Apples) delivered by our community gardener friends, Greenmarket farmers, and locavore restauranteurs via bicycles and pedicabs.
- We will compost our foodscraps, to help sustain our fragile soil.
- And most importantly, we will talk to whoever happens to stop by about local organic farming as a critical element to sustainable healthy living, food security, youth education, and climate change mitigation. (link)
And, oh yes, they hope to pick up some iPhones when they go on sale next Friday, July 11. Simon plans to buy three: one for Barack Obama, one for John McCain, and one for himself. “We see it as a technology that can liberate us from our desks,” he says.
UPDATE: Having stuck it out for seven days and seven nights, as promised, Simon was No. 1 in line at 8:00 a.m. Friday morning when the doors of the Apple Store opened. As he headed into the glass cube — carrying an American flag and a box of apples — he was intercepted by one of Apple’s security guards and frogmarched away from the entrance, toward 58th Street. You can see a video of the incident at Applauded — and roughed up — in the iPhone 3G line. He was eventually allowed to enter the store, escorted by a pair of uniformed cops.
Below the fold: meet the iPhone Five.
Daniel Bowman Simon, 28, born in Chicago, lives in Brooklyn. Got a BA from New York University in marketing and an MBA from the University of the Pacific. Was working for the Gaia Institute on a green roofs project when he was inspired by a speech by food activist Alice Waters. Formed an organization called Do The Right Things to encourage elected officials to lead by example — transportation commissioners riding bicycles to work, for example. Energetic and enthusiastic to a fault, he is the glue that holds TheWhoFarm together.
Casey Gustowarow, 26, from Annapolis, MD. Works on an organic farm 20 miles away, where he grows carrots, turnips, squash, cucumbers and lettuce mix for a collective of 120 CSA (community support agriculture) members. Met Simon in the Philippines, where they were both in the Peace Corps. Here he’s mixing a salad of locally grown spinach, mizuna greens, tomatoes, zephyr squash, purple peppers and New York state apples supplied by friends who bicycled them in from a nearby farmers market.
Heyward Gignilliat, 32, born in Gainesville, GA, lives in Boston (that’s a Boston Braves baseball cap he’s wearing, not a Red Sox hat). Teaches English as a second language at Northeastern University. He’s this close to getting his masters in teaching English at SIT Graduate Institute in Brattleboro, VT. Met Simon when they were both in Japan teaching English to elementary and junior high school students.
Dane Sjoblom, 31, from State College, PA. Lives in Maui, where he’s a land use planner. Studied cultural anthropology at SUNY Buffalo. In the fall he’s going to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to get a masters in urban planning. Like Heyward, met Simon teaching English in Japan. His wife Yumi and six-month-old daughter Athea Aina spent most of Friday in line. He was going to send them home when it started raining, but the New York City Police Department beat him to it.
Kaitlin, 22, from Simi Valley, CA. Has a political science degree from Humboldt State University. Interned for Congressman Mike Thompson of California’s 1st District. Met Simon through mutual friends and shared beliefs. “I have a little sister who has no idea where her food comes from,” she says. “Being connected to your food sources is like knowing who’s running your country and knowing how society works. I want kids like my baby sister to grow up in a world where they feel empowered.
We waited a full 5 hours on Friday night and the stupid At and t servers crashed,and finally did not get the phone :( Apple management sucks.
Ed, Arlington, VA:
You sure have a lot of ideas for action. Why do I get the impression you just sit on your butt and expect the world to gone as usual? These are people that are devoting their lives and careers to a cause. Don’t knock it until you try it buddy.
TuckerTota: that is quite an ignorant barrage of criticism you are spouting there. Are you trolling us? How can you be anti-agriculture? Are you anti-fruits-and-vegetables too?
update: Daniel Bowman Simon was tackled by a guard and removed from the line. After all that time waiting…. HAHA!!!
and something i very much dislike…
that nightmarish caterwauling you call music, tuckertota…
Things I very much dislike, in order of appearance in this article:
agrico-political mission
the 44th President of the U.S.
organic farm
“restore the edible landscape”
bring seeds of change
set a new Guinness World Record
energy security
locally-grown food
“eating right”
Sen. Hillary Clinton
fragile soil
food security
climate change mitigation
Barack Obama
John McCain
food activist
organic farm
the Peace Corps
“connected to your food sources”
and lastly,
stupid beards.
For all of you ignorant fools that keep saying that the environmental impact of apple is pretty much non-sensible to discuss in this. Need I remind all of you that this article is about a group of 5 people claiming to help save the environment? That screams hypocrisy and yet you still say stuff like the following statement: “They go to a landfill and get covered in concrete.” ” There are a lot bigger problems in the world…”
Honestly, here is a way they could have done a better job and might have been able to get more communication with the next president. Get a phone with the walkie-talkie chirp feature from Sprint and you can actually talk to the big man in the White House at a much faster rate, provided they don’t just throw away the phone themselves or shelve it and never use it.
Here’s some other questions for these “environmentalists”. I wonder how you got to New York City. Did you fly? Did you drive? Did you go by train? I bet they drove their own vehicles up there and parked themselves all over the city, instead of using something like a bus or a train to reduce their own carbon footprint, which is a BS argument in and of itself.
You want to help save the planet? First start giving ideas that you can act on, not sitting around by a street corner and not showering while waiting for some new phone to come out so you can buy it for a person who will never use that phone to contact you in the first place. How about do the following? Talk to local governments about installing Solar Panels on the roofs of government buildings to reduce electrical costs and increase the benefit to that protion of the industry that is struggling to get by. How about talking to people with the right climate but poor soil quality to grow Jatropha for biodiesel?
Here’s another idea, how about asking congress to stop giving so much money to corn producers to keep making ethanol off a plant that can only give 30% of the plant to make the ethanol in the first place and switch to sugar like they do in Brazil.
You know I love how environmentalists say they want to change the world, but they do it for one reason, to get their fifteen minutes of fame. They only fight these causes because caring sells. Instead of trying to get your name in the news, DO SOMETHING THAT WILL GET RESULTS!
PeDW is a decent chap but he too falls for hype as Apple’s Media Collaborators all over the world fall over themselves in a pathetic effort to hype a non-event.
They go into a landfill, get covered in concrete. The world does not end. Crazy, i know.
There are a lot bigger problems than computers in landfills. Anyway, the only reason apple has a bad reputation is because the petty losers at greenpeace singled them out to get publicity.
People are still dying of malaria, starvation, and warfare. Rainforest is being obliterated every day. Yet people still cry over apple using too much packaging and feel important for driving a car that gets 5 more mpgs than another car. Get a life, or do something that actually matters.
Yet another group of loser who don’t know how to accomplish anything. Yeah, sitting in line for a week and badgering people as they’re trying go about their own business is really gonna save the world.
The irony in all of this is that they’re buying iPhones. Apple’s not the greenest corporation on the planet, despite CEO Steve Jobs only eating things that’re green. They actually have a horrible reputation in that department. I’ve used Macs all my life, but it’s inexcusable that Apple still doesn’t have a recycling program for their computers or other electronic devices. I always hock my old computers on eBay (helps pay for the new ones), but who knows what the buyer does after they’re done with it because Apple won’t take it off their hands.
Do you think Heyward is giving English lessons to Japanese tourist that stop by the store?
Poll: Who do you think is the cutest of these protesters. Personally, I think Heyward is a vegan dream muffin(and although she’s the only girl there I think Kaitlin still deserves some serious kudos for looking so scrumptiously adorable at first thing in the morning).
I think this is a really cool idea. The point is obviously to use grassroots tactics to get a sensible message out to people who normally wouldn’t consider this point of view. You can disagree with them, but if you’re reading this blog and thinking at all about their message then it proves that they were effective. Of course, after reading some of these comments it seems that I’m opening myself to the obvious rebuttal that most of the attacks on this campaign were written by people who possibly didn’t read the article or perhaps just don’t know how to think. I’m not referring to the few people who responded negatively to the actual views being expressed in the article, but to the vast majority of people who seemed to be attacking the stereotypes which they assumed these campaigners fell into. If you’re going to try and write a coherent rebuttal to this article that doesn’t just disgrace your own intelligence, you might want to start by responding to the message which these people are actually saying.
what a bunch of losers. instead of waiting a week for the iphone and trying to gain publicity, how about try and do something productive…maybe start a grass roots movement that people can/will relate to.
lets all waste our time for a phone and claim that were here for something greater than that
Wow, 2.0 gives up a tangental story to the 3G release, likely just to fill the space for lack of something better, and you people worry about the effect on stock price…. I can think of some who suffer from tunnel vision more then these 5 individuals, the regular posters here(promoters and haters alike) God forbid an intelligent conversation about consumer spending stats and forcasts, because after the Iphone/Mac worshippers get theirs in the first few weeks???? To the 5, I am always for improving human interaction with nature for the better but the hypocracy comments seem appropriate….Bike me some local apples while I wait for the cargo ship from Asia to arrive with my phone.
Really? Apple is not ‘green’ enough? The so-called environmentalists these days are delusional. Instead of whining about a tiny bit of chemical, in a tiny (beautiful) phone that is going to poison the poor concrete in our landfills they should be focusing on real problems.. if they spent half the time on real problems that they do complaining about phones and thousandths of percentage points in air volumes they might actually be able to make somewhat of a difference.. deforestation, invasive species, corrupt third world governments.. these are the real threats to the environment.
Me again. As an afterthought, I wonder if the five in this article check in to read these comments? :)
Someone said something about the contradiction between being environmentally conscious yet wanting an iPhone. I have to agree. Apple gets pretty poor marks as a green business. They are more concerned with share price and being cool. If you want green, you need to look at HP. They do a much better job at reducing waste and subsequently have a much better report card with the Green Building Association.
If these people think that seven days is enough time to wait to set a world record, they didn’t do even the slightest bit of research — there are accounts of people waiting that long for the original release of the iPhone, as well as people waiting 10 days or longer for the PlayStation 3. And those are just the last two major gadgets.
Very cool. 38 year-old NH guy here. The new “hippies” are much better organized (and educated) than the old. I admire what they are doing and wish them the best in their endeavors. I am a much bigger fan of this sort subtle and intelligent “demonstration” than marching around with picket signs.
So let me get this straight - these people who are so concerned about the environment & sustainability are in line to buy a product that
1) is basically disposable due to lack of a replaceable battery,
2) are marketed to replace each other every generation, with little information or interest towards trade-ins or recycling,
3) have a life expectancy of 2-3 years, and
4), most importantly, are comprised of toxic chemicals that end up seeping into our landfills upon disposal.
Could Apple be ready to announce a 2-1 stock split when they release earnings on the 21 of July? The statistics say yes!
“Awesome stuff.. keep it up guys
it makes you think that there are still young people who care in this country.”
If they really cared about this country, or had some kind of goal or purpose in life, they would be out working or actually doing something rather than sitting on their butts trying to make some sort of stupid statement. And really, what the hell does the iPhone have to do with organic farming. If anything, they should be protesting the eco-unfriendliness of the iPhone.
I find the fact that organic foods as a whole produce much less per acre as an alarming part of what these folks want to have happen.
These are the same folks that will tell the big Agro-business folks like ADM that they can’t alter crops to create more pest and disease resistant crops and also say they can’t use pesticides and high potency fertilizer either, both of which increase the food output.
Idealism is great but their optimism only works because they have one thing that much of the developing world doesn’t have in abundance, food! You can talk all you want about organic farming because you have the luxury of putting food into your stomach everynight. Talk to some guy in Somalia or Pakistan or even places like Yemen where the government has to provide food subsidies for the people to eat.
As for the rush to biofuels being non-sustainable, I have 1 word for you, jatropha, a small plant that produces an oil bearing seed. It can grow in most tropic areas, produces 10 times the amount of oil per acre of soybeans, even more so when compared to corn, is a non-food crop, and can be grown in areas most crops can’t be grown in.
Folks, this group talks about all the stuff they are going to do that is “environmentally friendly”. I find it amusing that they want to get an Iphone, since I’m sure that was made so ecologically friendly in the first place by the multitude of workers that Chinese manufacturer hired. Get the facts everyone, and then write your comments. Its mindnumbing drivel from most commentors who don’t take even the smallest amount of time to be properly educated and do research on a topic that makes most comments in here deviod of anything useful but insults to one another.
as a child of the 60’s and a veteran of Woodstock i think this is great even if i don’t give a rats ass about “organics” they have managed to complement the city water and promote the green market . when we “took over” Grand central station in 67 the night before the first “Be In”in central park the city sent in the tactical patrol force surrounded the station and drove us into a huddle and cracked our heads wide open with clubs (swung from above their heads) dragged us by the hair through broken (by them) plate glass doorways. these kids are getting their point across in a way that Bloomburg will want to Kiss them for. Kudos for Humbolt’s political science program
Referring to Disgruntled’s comments at 901pm on 6 July:
The rush to biofuels is not sustainable, so please don’t confuse true sustainability with redirection of addition from one fuel (oil) to another (biofuel). The true solution to our dependence on fossil fuels lays in a variety of different solutions including solar, wind, etc. One thing we should have learned by now is that moderation is the key to everything.
Just as lab mice develop diseases such as cancer when they have diets of only nutrasweet (or any of the other foods found to have caused cancer in lab mice), we should recognize the issues and dangers of a single solution to everything.
There is no magic wand or simple solution to climate change or reducing our overpopulation of the planet. We all need to take big and small steps to prevent us from collectively poisoning the planet such that becomes no longer habitable for the plants and animals (humans included) currently living on it.
I think these folks are on to something. With George Bush about to leave office, the United States is in serious danger of losing it’s hard-won position of Laughing Stock of the World. Turning the White House into an organic farm would help ensure we retain that distinction for years to come.
I miss having time to waste—whether it be for a good cause or not. {sigh}
haha, this is hardly a world record. Some crazy asians spend weeks waiting for whatever they are waiting for.
“disgruntled”
the word is alluded, not eluded. maybe an intelligent comment eluded you this time?
i would like to see where your statistics are coming from regarding the growing of biofuel crops vs. the price of food in lower income areas. biofuel is NOT that common or powerful. technically, there are enough resources out there for it now (ie: used cooking oil) that it should be having a minimal impact. could it possible be that the price of food everywhere has gone up because it’s NOT local and therefore is affected by gasoline/freight charges?
This is funny, the guy who called us all a bunch of assholes for making fun of all the people in line did it in the same sentence he was complaining about people making personal attacks on his friends in line. That one was just too good to pass up.
Liberalism in a political context simply means that these people react on emotion, and rarely take time to think out the consequences of their actions.
As one posted eluded to earlier, most of this sustainability crap is actually causing more damage than good. The price of food for some lower income areas has skyrocketed because some people think its a great idea to use biofuels. Simple economics shows that people will now start to grow whatever crop the biofuel needs, which will send our source of food outside the country, to places where they need to slash and burn land to produce our food. Don’t even get me started on carbon…
Constable,
That’s an odd comment to make being as though African-Americans in Queens, NY have a higher average median income than their White counterparts. Absolute statements can make fools of us all…
to frank:
the phone actually is going to cost 199/299 with new contract. if you’re a current user, things might be closer to the price range you’re talking about.
also the price range your talking about is the previous price.
to robert of boston:
wow are you that dumb? did you not read the article? did you just read the headline and come to an assumption? they’re there because if you wait in line for an iphone for a week / over a week, you’re going to get MEDIA ATTENTION. case and point, this article that you’re calling people out on, who i’m sure will not read this considering they’re WAITING IN LINE.
there is a statement that says that they will be purchasing some, which is great too. i say if you wait that long you mine as well reap the benefits. but i bet you’re going to use that to slam me after what i said above because, again, you probably aren’t reading my post but just checking out the headline.
i wish people who surf the internets actually read the articles they like to blast. it would probably keep you from blasting it.
What’s more common? Liberal and stupid or peanut butter and jelly?
I would say stupid and Texan, or moron and Freeper.
Wow. What’s more common? Liberal and stupid or peanut butter and jelly?
What an awesome way to get press, and a smart way to show how technology and the green movement can work together.
while Larry in Philly is cracking up at the thought of Obama/McCain Plucking tomatoes, Im in awe of the idea and think it is one of the best that I have heard recently.
A sustainable world is what has to happen, and to have the whitehouse as a center for local farming and sustainability would be very righteous.
Its really disgusting to see most of the comments here taking shots at these people. They are actually doing something(and getting publicity), and are by no means an embarrasment to the green movement. This is a system of capitalism and yes their parents perhaps paid for their college…. uh because that is how it fucking works in this country, at least for a large amount of college grads.
They are not ashamed to say they are standing in line for an iphone, if you read it they are saying exactly that, that they want iphones to be able to not have to be attached to a desk…. and they are using it to tell people about sustainability…
wow commenters you are extremely disappointing and I highly doubt if you were out in the world and saw these people you would say the same things.
Actually I think I will go by and talk to them in a few hours.
Simon and friends you are brilliant. Using a billion dollar company’s product launch as a platform to bring light to the cause of sustainability for the betterment of the planet is sheer genius. I think what you are trying to say is that we can go about our lives as they are and yet make informed decisions that will not destroy the planet in the process. I just thought I would like to add a positive comment to balance out all the negative ones.
LOL. Idiots… turn the WH lawn into a garden. Me and my Co-workers are cracking up at the thought of Obama/McCain plucking some tomatoes and eating them.
Great points here about these idiots promoting rabid materialism.
I don’t see any ‘green’ message here.
It’s easy being ‘green’ when mommy and daddy pay for fancy college programs and give you plenty of money so you can sit on your ass for a week waiting for your new Iphone.
These losers are an embarassment to the sustainability movement.
at least they do something-instead of only reading (like me) and writing (like me) comments
I wish we had more people who committed themselves to the greater good. This group is focused, intelligent, creative, and full of promise. Good luck and don’t give up!
Too ashamed to boldly say they are in the line for the stupid phone, they are hiding behind “ohh–we have a bigger agenda–” bull. Apple & AT&T are banking on such stupidity to make profit. “Where my food source is..” as per the leadership, 3rd world ate all the food. For the rest of it, check your gas tank. You might be driving on a month’s supply of food for 20 people.
mmmmmm 100 tacos for 100 dollars….that should be enough for my Dr. Who marathon……..
im going to wait in line for a week. then everyone will have to take me serial. super serial.
to me they look like some kinda sect
please stop giving apple a bad name
Too bad you can’t buy an iPhone 3G for someone else at the moment. I guess Obama and McCain are going to have to wait for theirs. Fools.
Why are political activists always insane? So she can see what her food source is, but she doesn’t care to visit the factory in the third world country that produced her jacket? Because then she can understand how society works.
well clearly anyone who wears north face must be a sheep. cause they dont offer great rain/outdoors protection.
gage youre prolly just a non conforming conformist.
How is the Iphone at all relevant..?
These folk are merely subscribing to the excessive and materialistic obsession with the unsustainable piece of metal known as the Iphone.
The message here–?
What a hypocritical and self-centered message.
The weak economy is basically only affecting poorly-educated non-whites. For the average caucasian, the U.S. economy is as good as it ever was. They’re the first to get hired and the last to get fired. Business as usual. That’s why in NYC where probably more than half the people are non-white, you won’t see any of them standing in line.
But who cares about that stuff. What’s important is how many iPhones are sold and how high Apple’s stock rises. I want know if there will be enough people on lines around the world waiting to purchase iPhones and will that push the stock up over $200. I darn sure hope so.
You people are assholes. I know these guys and they couldn’t be genuinely nicer people. Who cares if you agree with their cause or not, stop attacking them personally.
I have a hard time taking anyone seriously when I see them in North Face apparel. Look like everyday sheep to me.
Good one Frank! Pass it over to me when youy’re done!
At least the Kaitlin chick is kinda cute.
Maybe it’s me but the only thing they look interested in growing is the kind of plant you smoke.
Is media that desperate to keep reporting anything related to Apple and Iphone? Personally with the way things are going I find it hard to have anyone rushing out to drop 499/599 for a 3G iphone that for most people outside of major metro areas will only work on EDGE.
It will be interesting how many NEW contracts get taken in vs. apple fanboys (and farmers) rushing out the upgrade.
Seeing these douchebags almost makes me want to throw my iPhone in the garbage.
I work next to the Apple Store and saw these guys camped out this morning on the plaza. I think they’re crazy - especially because they had a little baby out there with them in the heat and rain. They looked like cult members.
How about petitioning Apple to:
1: put some solar panels on their crystal cube store
2: put some hamster wheels outside their store for those in line to generate some power
I regret that I had not the insight and drive at their relatively young ages to initiate a similarly profound initiative. It goes to the core of experimental sustainability, meaningful politics, and effective promotion.
Awesome stuff.. keep it up guys
it makes you think that there are still young people who care in this country
I think you are doing a great thing in hopes to awaken folks to new ways of doing things. YOu have some creative ideas, heartfelt desires and good intentions to keep on moving on with your information and desire to educate others through neaningful conversation.
Hang in there and who knows what will evolve.
Yeah baby… AAPL all the way to 250 a share!!!
How can they get removed? People stood in line the last time for 4 days at all the stores and nothing happend. This is excellent publicity for Apple.
Clearly, they’ve never farmed before. However, they can help by applying the money they will spend on an iPhone over the next two years and purchase themselves a new Massey Furguson tractor. That’ll spur the economy, provide domestic jobs, and increase trade with other nations.
Nice one people. Good food equals good feeling body, functioning mind, better chance of reaching your potential as a human being. Agribusiness farming is poisoning us and the soil. Strange way to publicize that cause, but it is still an important one.
wow for them being all organic and “healthy- they dont look any more attractive than me!
Cho Cha - The reason the economy in Texas is ok…and those cranes you see are there is because Texas gets a boatload of their money from the oil industry and related industries. The minute oil falls, those cranes will disappear. Go look up some stats and you’ll see the oil biz is just about the only biz that’s doing well right now.
Who would wait in line to sign a 2 year contract?
I would stand in line to get out of one.
Apple will release something better in 6 months.
I truly can not believe that thes dbags truly exist.
Talk about doing absolutely nothing but sucking up our planets oxygen. I have never seen more self-serving arrogance and misspent energy. Turn the white house lawn into an organic farm???? Are you serious? What a waste our country’s colleges have put out. Of course when I saw Humboldt State University I had to laugh.
With all of the serious crises in the world today: death, disease, war, famine, etc…. these idiots are waiting in line to consume….. a gadget, AND to blather propaganda regarding older less efficient farming techniques???
I can’t believe Fortune is stooping this low for a story.
First - Randal, who probably owns a Hummer, should get a reality check.
These kids are wonderful. They represent a green future and are anything but crazy. Sustainability is the key to this planet’s survival. A great, fun, productive thing to do - with iPhones to boot!
Cudos! Keep it up!
vat a bunch of loosing peepul. you had better to get out of here, you loosing loosers. And by the way thanks for letting me know that the number of cranes that can be seen on any given day is an indicator of the state of the economy ( to Cho from cha, I get it.)
I am glad that we live in a country where most of the people do work so people like them can just hang out on the sidewalks.
I think the real loser is the guy who posted a comment from Seattle…seattle sucks
I think this is great. These people have a set goal and a means to do so.
I don’t know what you guys are talking about, but here in California the general consensus is that the economy is indeed in the crapper. Gas prices are at an all-time high, largely due to the fact that auto makers and the US consumer has been content in using 100 year old combustion technology. The loan market for housing has gone down the toilet, and we still have no viable solution for universal health care. Glad everything’s fine for all the starbucks drinking consumers in Seattle - but here in the breadbasket of the world things are not so peachy. Remember where your food comes from iphone buying consumerites.
i was amazed yesterday that the line had started for the iphone. thanks for the story today who these idiots are. can apple have them removed from the premises. it’s about the iphone, not you and your beatnik organization. your 15 minutes are up!
Umm Phil.., cruise on over to google, “news” search and type in’ iPhone 3G line forming. The line is quickly getting a lot bigger than this publicity stunt. The Mac faithful are arriving…
ex ped: The faithful may be arriving, but half of them went home when it started to rain. By 6 a.m. this morning, the only people still in line were the five you see here. Anyway, the other five were all part of the same publicity stunt.
Their goal is to convinced the 44th President of the United States to transform the White House’s 17-acre lawn into an organic farm.
WOW, that is deep. It will change the world.
NOT!
Advise them that their time and energy should be devoted to something useful.
The economy in Dallas is great, no down turn, only doom and gloom from the liberal media. You should see how many cranes are visible around downtown, at least 15.
The media wants us to think the economy is bad. It’s NOT!
Things for me haven’t been better. See you all at the Ron Paul rally in D.C. on July 12th!!
And there are people actually trying to convinced us that the economy is dong very bad right now. Wow.
