Jak sie masz! Polish carrier Orange has resorted to hiring Polish actors to stand in line at the Era stores in order to drum up interest in Cupertino’s folly. In an effort to DRAW attention to the iPhone, Orange admitted to creating fake buzz.

“We have these fake queues at front of 20 stores around the country to drum up interest in the iPhone,” a spokesman said.

There are no lines at Era stores, another carrier who will be selling the iPhone tomorrow.
