I think he's a Microsoft employee. Microsoft have employed him and his mate to site there all week making fools of themselves, get on international television and degrade the value of the iPhone. I don't see the lines forming in any real substance until Friday, so they'll sit there, on their own getting more and more smelly and dirty as each day passes.
I think he's actually being paid to wait in line for someone else.
* He's unemployed, so why not do it for the money?
* He didn't seem to really know much about the iPhone either... "I'll see how it works".
I bet that's it. Somebody put him up to this...
I think you on to something, it is probably more like this guy got a plan to sell his position in line to someone for metrocards and food, The seat will go to the highest bidder...
Hmmm just got an idea someone go to those two guys and tell them we will ebay thier positions in line, but we will have to set it up right now so it will close by noon on Friday.
Hurry someone strike a deal with them....
Oh... this is even more nuts there is 1300 iphone items on ebay right now and the product is not even available.
I am disappointed that AI did not send his reporter to spearhead the iPhone line. We, AI readers, are expecting a full report in unwrapping the iPhone and disassembling it right in front of the genius bar at 18:02 local time
On a positive note, our lunatic is making friends already! By Friday, he will have about hundreds of friends with a common interest ?
He's being payed by Microsoft, and he's been instructed not to wash for four days, pee in his pants, and behave as obnoxiously as possible. The stink is going go put off anybody else from standing in line, and discredit the whole iPhone 'build up'.
So there you have it, he's not a real Mac / iPhone fan, he's a professional first in the line celeb stalker! Still, he's going to get a lot of coverage for this one, perhaps even make some cash.
Jeez, the guy looks homeless with the shabby clothes and handwritten sign. I hope this doesn't get aired again and again on network TV. It's a turn-off....
You sound like you are a really nice person. Must be a Christian.

Thanks!
But your sarcasm aside, he did look a bit homeless, especially with the handwritten sign asking for food and metrocards. And it *was* a turn-off, given that the media might make him the poster child for Apple fans who are willing to line up for an iPhone. Image does count for something! Too bad you can't reconcile those facts to your little moral universe.
P.S. Nice way to insult an entire religion, Mr. Holier Than Thou.

Begging for food and donations to survive a self-imposed 4 day wait in order to purchase a luxury item is disgustingly ironic and morally repugnant.
No I don't really think that.
It's not like a new Star Wars movie or Rolling Stones concert tickets...
NEW THEORY!

Especially when the spare tire he's packing could easily feed him for four days.

Yes, I think so.

Good for him.
Separated at birth?
I am not sure why people encourge people like this... It is funny once but these people never get the joke and they just wear on you over time
