Fake Buyers Queue Up for iPhone in Poland

Reuters reports the carrier Orange hired actors to stand in line in front of 20 or so stores, creating fake queues, when it launched the iPhone. Why? To, in the words of a spokesperson, "drum up interest in the iPhone." I don't think Orange had anything to worry about, You'd think the well over year of watching others use the iPhone would have been enough to get folks interested in buying one for themselves. After all, the iPhone's been hugely popular in nearly every market it launched - long lines or not.
