Paid Pre Hype?

TinyComb is reporting this sighting of the first person already lining up for the Palm Pre. However, I'm tempted to call shenanigans on this- I wouldn't be surprised if this man is being paid to sit outside the store and generate hype for the Pre. It would be a smart move on Sprint's part to do this, especially in these tough economic times. In fact, if you happen to be out of a job and looking to make a few extra bucks, I would recommend you contact Sprint to see how much they pay for this type of gig!
