PS3 Campers, sent away after days!

Quote:

After waiting 4 days for the campers to settle in, Best Buy kicked the whole group of its property on Friday afternoon. No word on whether the decision is from corporate, the local mall or the local Best Buy management, but we do know that it's 4 days of non-showering, job-quitting and engagement-postponing all for naught. A true modern tragedy.

Serves them right to wait for the PS3.

They probably started to stink, which is definately not good for business.

It's "owned" with a bit of pazzaz.
If you want to get really trendy, you can snap off a quick little "pwnt" or if in the right mood, a "lolpwnt."

Ok I kinda assumed it was that, but I also thought it could mean "pawned", as in you got pawned........pwned!!!!

Is that gonna be the new thing, or just something lame ass I made up?

The "pwned" phenomenon has been around for years.
Are you telling me you've never seen any pictures on the internet of someone getting hit with a ball, let's say, and then the letters: pwnd/pwned/owned/pwnt above it?

Hell, 'pwned' is even on wikipedia.

No I have, but nobody ever explained it, but I knew it meant something like "owned" or "sucked in" type thing.

Wow.....I feel like I'm a new man now!!! I was pwned for many years!!!

Cops sent me and my fellow PS3 campers home today. We were all issued a raffle ticket and are to return to the store tomorrow when they draw tickets to decide who of the many will get the 6 systems they have. Wish me luck!

On a side note, I'm insanely tired. Been up for over 24 hours now in pretty cold weather.
