Unhappy Mad Chaos For $50 iBooks

A Virginia School district sells 1000 iBooks for $50 resulting in a riot like atmosphere!

Here's the news story:

In my opinion this should have never happend, it's both school's fault as well as these greedy people. What a world we live in!

By the way, why is the school selling these computers for so cheap, makes no sense to me.

That's pathetic. They should have raised the price to $200 or more to raise more money....to pay for the damages caused by the ensuing mob due to poor planning. They should have had a regulated line. 1st come 1st serve but with an ID number so you know you'll get one.

This was all staged by the Fox channel. They were attempting to film their next TV series "When Trash Attack!"

Thats funny. I'm surprised they didn't auction them or sell them in lots to other agencies/schools.
