So you got ripped-off by a huge corporation?

Gee, what a surprise that one of those benevolent entities would do something like that! Okay. Seriously. People are steamin' mad at Apple Computers for overcharging them for their new iphones and then subsequently dropping the price. Overcharging?What? You mean you had to pay a premium for being the first kid on your block to own the new Cabbage Patch doll? That's how these things work folks. Basic 101 business classes tell you that much. A new product comes out and costs a little more at first. As more units sell, the price drops and less wealthy consumers can afford it. Later on even poor people can afford one. Finally the market is so saturated with the WB6PD that the price goes low enough for all the hillbillies to have one in every room of the trailer.

Look. If you insist on being ahead of the bell curve by purchasing the latest, greatest, whiz-bang 6000 plus deluxe, the nano-second it comes out, you are going to pay more for the privilege of being a yuppie puke. I noticed a lot of television personalities whining about the supposed scam, including the normally thoughtful and wise Keith Olbermann. How much do you guys make in salary? You're bitching about a couple of hundred bucks. If I had your wealth I'd be spending that much on tips after lunch, you selfish jerks.

Now I've said my piece and will let you go. I'm sure you need to get in line for the next Star Wars movie. They haven't produced one yet, but hey, you'll be the first geek in line when they do. Be sure to bring your heel-less Skechers, your designer water bottle, your iphone, your ipod, your wii, and your crack-berry. Its gonna be a long wait to be first.
