“shouldn’t have kept you waiting…”

From Kotaku UK:

Loyal Kota­kuite John just got home from the PS3 launch at Vir­gin in Lon­don. Seems there were around 50 or so peo­ple there for the bash, but in the midst of a cold, Bri­tish night, con­di­tions weren’t ideal. Luc­kily, some friendly chaps were on-hand giving out free cam­ping chairs to the tired, would-be cus­to­mers [with the words, “Shouldn’t have kept you wai­ting”, and a corres­pon­ding web­site address, shkyw.org prin­ted on the back].
How thought­ful. Until you actually visit the URL.
Cheeky bastards.

[Disc­lo­sure: My friends at Edel­man were behind this one. Yes, the chairs are colo­red green for a reason.]

  6. Cheeky and cle­ver indeed! If this launch had taken place in Miami, that girl would’ve been expo­sing her thong, adding a whole new mea­ning to the slogan.
