Want an iPhone? Hire a line sitter.

If you're itching for an iPhone, there's no need to wait in the line yourself. With summer temperatures rising on the East Coast, why swelter in the heat? Hire a line sitter!

A check of craigslist found scores of individuals willing to stand in your stead at the AT&T Wireless and Apple stores fortunate enough to have the latest wonder from Apple-dom on their shelves.iphone-list-sitter.gif


Fees range from $50 to $200 (or best offer) to lease a human being to stand, sleep, sit, engage in hand-to-hand combat with line-cutters or whatever else is required to acquire your sparkling new iPhone.

Though I know it is hardly new, I think this whole line sitting thing has promise. Maybe it should be part of Web 3.0 - LineSittr? Seriously, leasing a line sitter at DMV would be nice. Or how about those ridiculously long lines at Disney World. Now that would be worth some serious money.
