Star Wars Fans

Today I heard on the radio that a group of 25 people have started to wait out in line in front of the Chinnese Theatre in Los Angeles for the new Star Wars movie. Now to give you an idea April 7 is today and the movie comes out May 31. They are not put their in regular clothes either, they are decked out in Star Wars apparel with no shoes on. They have a pay phone by the line that radio shows have call to get these individuals on air. The funny thing is these individuals think they are celebrities but in return everyone is making fun of them. What would posses someone to wait out two months on a sidewalk for a 3 hour movies? Now, I know why George Lucas keeps making these movies even though it is hurting the originals, because these crazy people will pay anything to see these movies. Lucas is making a fortune off of these crazy bastards. Can someone please drive out to these people and explain to them that it is just a movie that you will be able to buy on DVD and keep forever. This not something you should risk health, sleep, and your job over. Now being a sports fanatic I must say that I too get a little overboard about my team, but I am not willing to sleep out for two months for a game ticket that I can see on television. The funniest thing about all this. The new Star Wars movie is not going to be shown at the theatre they are standing out in front of and they know this, but the original Star Wars movie made its mark at that theatre and they believe if they bring enough publicity to the theatre that they will show the movie their. The theatre down the street that is actually showing the movie has a total of zero people waitting in line. You do have to admire their commitment. No, nevermind they are just crazy!

The Daily Show showed some guy dressed up as the red M&M peanut guy with a robe like Anakin Skywalker.

"Ahh, the peanut is strong in this one."

Hehe. Ridiculous.
