Quintessential News Story of This Generation
Don't get me wrong - this is not meant to be some conservative rant against the vacuity of the younger generation. It just strikes me as hitting a really interesting pop culture nexus.

That link is weirdly funny
That's over $20/hour, much of it probably sitting down and reading a book.
Where else can someone earn that kind of money with minimal real world skills and without applying any effort?
OK, I mean, BESIDES 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue ?
@TJIC - Hey, that 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue comparison is grossly unfair to people with minimal real world skills.
At first, I thought Coyote didn't know The Onion is all made-up stuff. Then I realized he had the wrong link entirely.
What I find weird is that practice of 'not cutting in line' is largely a social etiquette enforced usually by nothing more than shaming. And yet the social norm holds up even when $900 is at stake. I also wonder whether the other people behind in line were still vaguely pissed at the $900 cutting in guy.
Whoever bought that spot, they must have been incredibly desperate for a front-facing camera and slightly faster processor! Especially as you could have used the $900 to buy an earlier generation ipad to tide you over for the 3-4 weeks until the new one arrives.

Is that the link you meant to post?
