			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I read something interesting today at <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com/">Gizmodo</a>, a gadget news site I frequent. It was <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5024692/ktla-reporter-makes-fun-of-iphone-line+sitters-gets-called-a-jackass-on-live-tv">an article about a news reporter</a> who said some pretty rude things to the people standing in line for an iPhone. Someone left a comment about the video:</p>
<p>&#8220;Really, what is the difference between this and waiting in line to buy concert tickets or sports team season passes?
<div class="content">
<p>That&#8217;s one thing that bothers me, you&#8217;re a geek if you dress up as a<br />
Star Trek character, but there&#8217;s nothing wrong if you go to a sporting<br />
even with no shirt on with one half of your body painted blue and the<br />
other half orange and watch a bunch of grown men make millions of<br />
dollars playing a game.</p>
<p>Different strokes for different folks.  But why is it socially acceptable to make fun of one but not the other?&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s an interesting thought to chew on.</p>
