1. They've obviously never heard of the concept "shop online"
or of the magazine Computer Shopper.

I have to wonder how much money they are spending camping out versus how much they plan to save, and if they have even factored that little tidbit in. By the sound of it, they are more concerned with being first!!11! than with actually saving anything. The priorities some people have... :eyes:

2. I think you're right
I'm a nice person...I really am but something in me just wants to see the 2000 plus people behind them run them over flat when the doors open :evilgrin:

And it's usually the poor security guy who opens the door and gets stampeded just so 2000 plus stupid adults can try get one of the new widgets for that year, that they only have 10 of in stock for their overindulged kids.

5. They're going to give themselves heart attacks

when people start showing up. The stress will be tremendous. People WILL try to get in ahead of them. Sharp words will be exchanged. Hopefully no fists or bricks will be thrown. Hopefully no one will be armed.

This part of our culture embarrasses me.

I still remember when that poor guy at Best Buy died from a human stampede to buy TVs. :(
