SURE. We got PLENTY iBooks Left

I was honestly going to work on Part 6 today but I had to write about THIS (click here.)
Just when I thought we Virginians had risen above the rigid Southern REDNECK image... some idiots have to go and prove me wrong... and right.

my favorite pic of it is in this story

and another good shot

here is another link


Of all the freakin reasons to make the CNN ticker, this is NOT one to have

Anyone else out there see how there was a 5500 person mob that went apeshite in Henrico County trying to score one of a 1000 4-year old iBook notebooks? There were 17 people injured, one baby stroller got crushed (the mother claims she just did get the baby out of it in the nick of time), there was at least one person who started a fistfight when someone jumped in front of them in line (although that was really silly - as soon as the gates opened, all pretense of a line went right out the door). Then there was the woman who pissed her own pants (she didn't have a magic cone) rather than lose her spot in line. And let's not forget the woman who had to have the EMT's show up for her, because she passed out not once, not TWICE, but THREE times from dehydration... and THEN she insisted on staying in the damn line. Now, talk about the inconsideration of this person. The EMT had to stay with her all damned day, waiting in line with her, because she refused to leave the line. I wonder if anyone died because of her selfishness? Hmm?

I just want to reassure you gentle readers out there in the world that we in Virginia are NOT all as bad as those 5500 idiots/wankers/jerk-offs that trampled the baby stroller and hurt 17 people. Really.

Or maybe we are.

Maybe you are too. Mobs just get STOOPID.

Damn it's really embarrassing to live in the South sometimes. See, there is already this overriding prejudice that claims that anyone from the South is, well, a bit slow/stupid/dumb. The accent sure doesn't help us any... the word y'all is no good... then there's Jeff Foxworthy and the Cable Guy adding to the pot. Damn.

It was bad enough that Forrest Gump lived in a Southern state.

And now we had to have 5500 Southern folk add to that stupid factor.

I need to move back out west. Somewhere nice and peaceful... iBook free...
But, hey, it has spurred up whole new businesses so I guess it is OKAY. Right?

Hey... you think they might have any of those iBooks left?....
