"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.]

There's a whole army of us waiting to be called to arms.

The waiting chairs are an excellent idea.

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.
