» NEWS THAT MAKES YOU SAY WTF?: PHILADELPHIA MAYOR SPENDS 15 HOURS WAITING FOR iPHONE
What do you do you when you’re the mayor of a city with one of the nation’s highest murder rates? Well if you are John F. Street, mayor of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, you wait in line on and off for 15 hours to be one of the first to purchase the new Apple iPhone. Check this:
Mayor John F. Street was among the first to get a coveted iPhone on Friday, waiting in line, on and off, for almost 15 hours and forced to defend the effort when a passer-by asked about the city’s skyrocketing murder rate.
Street’s wait on the sidewalk outside the store was anything but uneventful. He wore large Bose headphones hooked up to an iPod Nano - one of three iPods he owns - around his neck while seated on a lawn chair.
He left his spot around 11:30 a.m., soon after a 22-year-old man sporting a mohawk asked him, “How can you sit here with 200 murders in the city already?”
The mayor replied: “I’m doing my job.”
