Line campers... I generally hate them

That video of the "stand back everyone, I've got mad cash and I know how to use it, mwuhaha" lady was most excellent.

As for the topic, I agree that it's sad how we try to make ourselves happy in life by purchasing stuff. Not that it isn't neat to get a new toy, but in a few weeks that toy isn't going to be so neat anymore. Then all those people who lined up will be lining up for something else. There's always one more thing we need to buy if we want to really be happy. Right there, you can tell that this is a flawed way of living, but what are you gonna do? People can live how they want as long as they don't step on my toes. The example of the mayor taking a day off for an iPhone is something I would consider in the "toe-stepping" category, but even then, you could argue that he's representing the people by obsessing over buying stuff just like they do. It's a mad world, right?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
