PS3 launch sees multiple thefts

PS3 launches tomorrow, don't'cha know?

"Elk Grove police responded by notifying local retailers and nearby police departments of the theft, and advising those lining up for the system not to do so alone, and not to bring cash. [more]

Now, here's the question I have, and I've had it ever since Elian Gonzalez was in this country: Don't these people have fucking jobs??

Seriously, I think that what's really fucking up our economy is people having nothing better to do than:

a) Protest stupid shit that has nothing to do with them.

One story that came out of the Elian Gonzalez mishap from lo those many years ago was a Tennessee school teacher who made the trip all the way to Florida - during school sessions - to protest the return of Gonzalez to his native Cuba. Similar incidences have occurred with the Tookie Williams death penalty protest, and government issues too numerous to go into here.

b) Wait in line for stupid shit that isn't worth looking like a homeless person.

Star Wars installments. PS3s. Harry Potter books. You dumbasses oughta know by now that these things will stick around ... getting the first one doesn't mean you're in some exclusive little club. You know, those dumbasses that got those first PS2s ... they paid the full price for 'em. Ha ha, I waited a year and a half, got one for $100 less. DUMB. ASSES. There's a reason why patience is a virtue. You get the same damn thing, only you waited until all those fucking tools got out of the shed.

ATTN: America standing in line for the PS3

No, seriously, go home & take a shower. Go to work. Earn your paycheck. I promise that the little gaming box will be there when you get back. Hey, better idea. Wait a year for your precious Playstation 3, that way it might go down in price from its inexplicable $499 price tag (for a BASIC system). Haven't you ever heard of delayed gratification? Of course not; that's why Amer'ca has so many smokers and so many pedophiles.

Anyone standing in fucking line to spend that much money, hell, you just might deserve to be robbed. Not shot or killed, but at least have your shit jacked. You have too much money, and some stupid people should just be shook for their ends. If I stood in line for that long, to spend that much money, the PS3 should cook me breakfast every morning ("I said sunny side UP, numb nuts!") and let me call it "bitch" in public, and definitely clean the cat's litter every day (and clip that little fucker's claws too, those things are unruly) and tell me every morning before I go to work that my dick is a foot bigger than it really is.

Really, the more I see of the PS3, the less I want one. Actually, the less I want any of the new systems anymore, with their motion-sensitive control & their virtual-realistic graphics. Games have become pretentious, made more so by dumbass correspondence schooled computer shitasses who try really hard to convince themselves that they're doing something important in the world.

Now, the best part of all of this? For all that damn money you'd spend on the PS3, tomorrow, you'd be able to buy, right now on ebay, the following:

1 Sega Genesis
1 Original Nintendo Entertainment System
1 Commodore 64 system
1 Super Nintendo
1 Playstation One
... and a HUGE library of fantastic games for all five systems.

Oh, but then you wouldn't get your precious Blu-Ray compatability, would you? Oh, don't even lean against THAT button ... damn ... I just got so pissed off I swear it tastes like I have a mouthful of pennies. I just might need to lay down.

This message has been brought to you by Nate's pending stroke. Get it while it's hot ... after the fall, it's going to be all "me talk pretty one day" on here.
