Stupidity, has a plane ticket.
And so forth.
GLAMOUR swimmers Stephanie Rice and Eamon Sullivan left behind angry and sobbing fans yesterday in a sponsor’s grab for gold.
After queueing hours for an autograph, unsuspecting admirers were told the Olympic medallists would sign only Davenport-branded clothing.
…
After 2 1/2 hours in the Myer basement queue, St Albans woman Jade Gunn, 21, burst into tears when Rice told her: “We only do Davenport.”
Ms Gunn hurriedly got two pairs of underpants off a rack and joined the queue again.
She stood in tears after organisers then set a queue cut-off point, to end the session, in front of her.
“It’s business for them. That’s all anyone cares about these days,” she said.
Ms Gunn spent about $300 to fly to Sydney on Tuesday to get the pair’s signatures on a T-shirt, but missed them at the airport.
…
Ms Gunn said she had skipped work-for-the-dole job training to be there yesterday and she might lose benefits.
Doomed to Stupidity. | jort | 27 August, 2008 |
