Well, I’ve camped in some pretty crappy weather for boy scout camp, but never for Playstation 3 camp. These are pictures of 4 individuals I interviewed outside of the Best Buy in Orem, Utah. It was 3 guys around the age of 22 and a girl age 17. I tried, but couldn’t get a statutory confession.
So, yes, that’s them in front of a tent on Monday night, even though the system doesn’t come out until Friday. And yes, these kids have jobs for the most part. Fortunately they all seem to work at the same place and have each other’s shifts covered or something.
Dedication
Although they show dedication and discipline to camp out in freezing weather for 4 nights, it is discipline and dedication towards hedonism. These kids will probably finally buy their game console (with the money most kids use to score some mouth watering sticky bud, or to make their car into a rice-rocket-wet-dream) and go home in their big 1988 Dodge Van and submerse their soft and impressionable brains in liquid violence (while they smoke some mouth watering sticky bud). So, no, lets not applaud or celebrate such dedication to oblivion… but let us working class slobs sigh in silent desperation.
So I asked them if they thought there would be a lot of competition to buy the PS3 (in 4 days). They assured me that there would be tons of competition for the very limited number of breadcrumbs falling from Sony’s lap. So in this harsh video gaming climate of limited supply for an always growing demand, ants will be forced to line up before the crumbs are even spilt.
That was Monday… I’ll pass buy Best Buy again tonight to see how they are faring. Make sure to check back soon to find out if they have new competition! We might see rioting with hundreds of angry mob-mentalites tearing at the doors of Best Buy with fingernails flying in different directions, or we might find that the hundreds have gathered to sing hymns for world peace as they take advantage of their already lazy and peaceful dispositions (and some wicked bud as before mentioned already). Or, we might find our 4 campers alone still.
