From my office window I can see a line wrapping around the block down the street. It hasn't shrunk since I got here at 9:30 this morning. I haven't bothered to verify why this line exists, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with the release of the new iPhone.
While the trend of waiting in atrociously long lines for electronics is disturbing on a number levels, not the least being what this phenomenon implies about our culture more broadly, there is only word needed to describe this behavior: Disgusting.
