Hmm. Funny looking bar of chocolate.

High fiving staff and filming themselves walking into the store.

Some people like Apple a little bit toooo much I think :/

That is probably one of the saddest things I've seen in a long time

Doesn't beat the MS store people dancing around because apparently it was a "cool" thing to do.

I can understand the hi5. They're one of the first people in the world to own a brand new shiny gadget. I know I'd be excited. But dancing in a store to the Black Eyed Peas because its "cool"? Now thats sad

Desmo · 06-04-2010, 10:49

Nope, sorry Pete, it's sad full stop. Finding a MS one doesn't make it any less sad

Everyone loves to buy a shiny new gadget. Hell if I had the money sitting around as spare I'd be buying one too, but I'd purposely avoid that first day so that I didn't have to act like a nob.

petemc · 06-04-2010, 10:59

Surely you could buy it on the first day without acting like a nob?

I mean, its not like its in the T&Cs. Get it shipped to you. High five your reflection away from the cameras

Oh and I didn't have to find the MS one. That is pretty much the saddest thing I've seen in a long time. The whole idea is hilarious. The store is a complete rip of the Apple store and it continues to show that MS are playing catchup to Apple and that their idea of "cool" is hilarious. Windows 7 parties? Seriously?

Don't think that I'm a fanboy trying to defend them though. I wouldn't high five the guy either. I'm not mad

But these guys are. Sale at American Apparel store in London results in a riot and police action.

The other intriguing thing about that video was the responses they gave about why they wanted one. It's almost as if they didn't really know why they wanted one or what they'd use it for

To be fair though, that's less to do with just Apple and more to do with Americans being idiots. You'd get the same for console launches etc.
