"Rent-a-queue" lines up outside Apple

I have often wondered about the queues outside Apple stores for launches, then I read this on the Sydney Morning Herald

"Former truck driver Steve Parkes has been camped outside the George Street outlet since Monday, after he was offered $950 by a jobs site to line-up wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the company's logo. The 37-year-old, from Millers Point in inner Sydney, admitted he had no interest in the devices and was purely motivated by the cash."I admire them from afar, but I've got no great interest in Apple itself," Mr Parkes told AAP today

If I was unemployed I wouldn't mind sitting on my bum for a week and getting paid for it
