Empty ya pockets son; they got you thinkin that

Make you think that buyin is rebellin
From the theaters to malls on every shore

These articles regarding the iPhone are leaving me with a funny taste in my mouth. Is it bile?
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Brandon Saunders, 16, had been saving his allowance and birthday money for months to get one of Apple Inc.'s coveted iPhones.
He waited in line with his 70-year-old grandmother for about eight hours Friday in front of a San Antonio AT&T store and left sunburned but grinning, shopping bag in hand.
"It's worth it," he said. "It's like Christmas in June."
16 yrs old? Months of allowance? Grandmother? 8 hours? WTF? Yeah, yeah, free markets are great, but this is a disgusting orgy of consumerism.
