Some people waited in line days – or at least many, many hours – for yesterday's launch of the iPhone 4. But not actor Jason Bateman, who, according to numerous eyewitness accounts from the Twittersphere (and photos from the gossip blogs) got to cut the massive line at a Los Angeles area Apple store.
Many of those in line were apparently none too pleased with the preferential treatment, with reports of “booing and hissing” when the Arrested Development star left the store.
It appears that Bateman – who was a presenter at last week’s Webby Awards and whose former show has a bit of a cult following online – is not immune to the wrath that comes with pissing off the “small people” – especially when they’ve been camped out in a line all night.
The tweets below show how the event quickly evolved:
