Seriously, Greg Packer, you are the worst. Get a job, you walking embarrassment. [TechCrunch]

Remember Greg Packer, the shameless guy who sat shirtless at the front of the iPhone line? I’m sorry if you do, that might be partially my fault. Well, Greg is still around, and our intrepid videographer Alex Goldberg happened to run into him this weekend. He still has that first iPhone and actually saw our horrible Photoshop Contest dedicated to him. Was he offended? Are you kidding? It was free publicity, something this guy lives for. More »
newVideoPlayer("iphone_dude_gawker.flv", 475, 376); Greg Packer, everyone’s favorite professional linesitter, was spotted by our enterprising videographer Alex Goldberg this weekend at the Village Voice Siren Festival at Coney Island. Where was he? Up at the very front, of course. Whether or not he’d ever heard of any of the bands he saw is currently unknown. You’ll always be at the end of the line to our hearts, Packer. More »
Packer doesn’t have the money to pay for an iPhone, and they might not let him in with a sponsor to buy one. Stupid, sweaty Packer! More »
My God. This was by far the biggest response to a Photoshop contest yet, with entries filling my inbox every minute or so for the past 24 hours. Stop! For the love of everything holy, please stop! I can’t take looking at this guy any more! I feel completely dead inside. Consider this the last post focusing on Greg Packer on Gizmodo unless he invents a new laptop or something. Below, punish yourself with over 50 of the most warped and unsettling Photoshops your precious eyes will ever see. I’m sorry in advance.

Noted iPhone waiter Greg “The Line” Packer may look nice and gentleman-like now, but wait ’til you see him with a mug of booze. Just 4 AA batteries in this Happy Drinker, who has more than a passing resemblance to Greg, will make him drink, dance and jiggle his stomach. How they managed to capture his essence so well is anyone’s guess.

Greg Packer enjoys attention. He sits in lines for all sorts of events just so the media will ask his boring opinion on things and he can read about himself in newspapers. You like publicity, Packer? I’ll give you some goddamned publicity. It’s time for another Gizmodo Photoshop Contest.
Your task: put Greg Packer in ridiculous situations, as ridiculous as possible. Honestly, I’m not going to be all that specific on this one, as I want to see where you guys go with this one. But do it fast! I want to have a gallery of the best submissions up before 6pm tomorrow, when the iPhone goes on sale. So get crackin’, and send your finest work to me at adam@gizmodo.com by noon tomorrow. As usual, humor is the number one priority, with craftsmanship a close second. Entries that have both are what will make the winners gallery. Dismissed! More »
You know that guy who’s first in line at the 5th Ave Apple Store? Greg Packer? Turns out he’s no Apple fanboy. No, he’s an obsessive linesitter. He was the first person to see Ground Zero when the viewing platform opened, the first to sign the condolence book at the British consulate when Princess Diana died, and the first in line to greet President George W. Bush after his inauguration. Hell, the guy waited in line for eight hours to meet Brandy. Brandy! More »
