It might be stretching it a little to say that this story is really about agriculture and the iPhone but . . . for those of you who are already in line to get the new iPhone 3G on Friday, you might appreciate it. The story and pic comes from Macworld.

iPhones and sustainable agriculture don’t have a lot in common, but a bedraggled group of publicity-seekers and iPhone enthusiasts who want the next U.S. president to plant an organic farm on the White House lawn have connected the two as a reason to line up for Friday’s iPhone 3G launch.

Led by a fresh-faced sprite called David Bowman Simon—who looks more likely to be driving his father’s SUV than getting his hands dirty hoeing a row of seeds—Waiting for Apples’ mission is to encourage people to grow their own food while setting a Guinness World Record for the most time spent waiting in line to buy something.

I guess Macworld thinks organic farming is “sustainable.” Wonder what their definition of sustainable is. I’m all for gardening and if you don’t want to put some Miracle Gro on it then that’s your choice. Can’t say that would sustainable in my book, especially not financially. Okay. I’ll stop there. This is really going to help feed the world. Okay. Okay. I’m stopping.

These folks are really just trying to get support for a frivolous petition called The White House Organic Farm Project.
