This isn't just about the patheticism of people quitting their jobs to wait in line for a PlayStation 3...but moreover about the absolutely inhumane things that happened at PS3 lines all across the USA Friday morning...

2. Nerds become unruly and get angry at a store in California when they are told they can't wait inside the store for their PS3 systems. Police are called. The Wal-mart is shut down temporarily:
