Washington Post blog about the new iPhone cause's strange comments

There are some truely angry and strange comments on this blog about not only Apple but Capitalism, Corporate greed, liberals, Prius...

Some of the comments are about having pity for the shallow people that have to HAVE the newest product that Apple and the Evil Corporate world are shoving down our throats.
Some are about people not lining up for social good but standing in line for phone that cost's $200 and that you should spend that money on doing good for society.
Some are about giving away all of your possession and never buying anything frivolous.

How did a simple blog about the iPhone turn into a political and social discussion that angers so many people?

clipped from blog.washingtonpost.com Don't Run Out To Buy An iPhone Today ALL I PHONE USERS, GET A LIFE. F THE I PHONE. YOU BRAINLESS SHEEPS. ITS JUST A STUPID PHONE. WAITING IN LINE TO GET RAPED BY APPLE AGAIN. DIDN'T YOU LEARN THE FIRST TIME APPLE CAME ON YOUR FACE AND CALLED IT RAIN. Hilarious. All these people casting their holier-than-thou judgment on folks who are excited about a cool gadget. I assume you people have sold all every unnecessary item in your life and given all the money to charity? I'm sure that you've never, ever gotten excited about some inanimate object in your life before? I suppose you eat rice for dinner every night because consuming anything extravagant would be an insult to all of the starving people in the world? How about you just accept that we all have different wants and needs and that your way of living isn't necessarily the only way of living?
