It just reminds me of those stupid people who collect those stupid stickers at Wellcome. Whenever I hand them back I always get the middle aged local eyes brighten up saying they will take them so they can save for the stupid suitcase that will fall apart in two uses or a pot that will break within six months.
ah. I may have missed that episode. will have to watch. big SP fan.
Don't know about Apple, but some local companies pay people to queue up so as to generate "buzz". As for Apple, I think there is real demand for it's products so the queue will be "real".
I remember some years ago McDonalds were giving out free stuff toy or something if people purchase their happy meals and lo and behold, a massive queue was created for each franchise. If locals are willing to queue (almost riot) for a f***in stuff toy, you bet they will queue for an ipad or iphone.
