Taking things to extremes

Tomorrow is the opening of Apple's new store on Regent Street, something the Guardian covered this morning.

When you're reading about this orgy of consumerism, however, spare a thought for this guy who is, rather insanely, camping outside the store after flying over from Texas especially to be there when it opens.

"At 2:00am, a crew from GMTV, a London breakfast news show, interviewed me along with Thomas (another American). Just asked the basic questions everyone does such as why am I here, is it worth being out in the cold for this, etc. I probably made myself look like a fool because I don't really know how to answer the darn questions in a way that makes sense."
