I won’t speak to the thought process that makes a person buy an iPad from two strangers on the street in South Carolina. It wasn’t by any means smart, but if someone handed me a box that said “iPad Inside!” I’d think, if only for a moment, what if? You know, before running off. I’m just mad at the added insult to injury on the part of the scammers. They decked the block in duct tape and an image of the iOS springboard with what looks like a Best Buy tag. They even carved a fake Apple logo and stuck it on the back. What, to give her hope? Way to be arseholes about it, guys. [The Smoking Gun]

Thursday, September 1, 2011 at 8:56 PMGoodness! The poor thing! Tell you what, give her my number as I think she needs a break. I’ll sell her my “conveniently covered on a big tarp” Bugatti Veyron for only 20 thousand bucks! But just let me have the money and be a long way away before she lifts the cover to check her bargain. How dumb must some people be???
