We LOVE to spend our money

[DebJ]

1. WWJD?

[lunasun]

4. find it wholesale online

[WhoIsNumberNone]

2. Reminds me of Dawn of the Dead...

...All the zombies pouring into the shopping mall. Or in this case the Wal Mart.

[beyurslf]

3. They don't do that where I live. The store is open the whole time, and people line up by the items

that are specials. they rope off lines and you take a number. You can't leave the line. So pushing and trampling. Sucks to stand in the line for several hours but no one dies trying to save a few hundred bucks

[southmost]

5. this is why the country completely deserves a president palin

and the republican disaster

[timtom]

11. I was just thinking the same thing!

[JJW]

6. WTF?

Funny!

[lib_wit_it]

7. I would need to be paid a hell of a lot of money to participate in such madness. I'm

sure our corporate masters find it quite amusing.

[unapatriciated]

17. .....

[lib_wit_it]

23. Lulz! Exactly!

[gtar100]

8. And now ask all these people to make a stand for their civil rights

and I bet they'd all disappear. These crowds showed the kind of intensity that is needed to face down the jack-booted facists suppressing us, to turn this country around, build up unions, make our trade laws equitable and to make our elections fair and honest. But this display is just shameful. It's whole crowds of persons infected with the me-first-screw-everyone-else mentality. Way to go republicans. This is your America. I'm disgusted by it.

[WCGreen]

9. That's just disgusting behavior....

People acting like animals to buy distractions.

It's like an uncontrolled game show, like Let's Make a Deal...

People in third world countries have to line up for food and act better than this...

[greiner3]

10. So when certain media says these 'riots' are caused by people of color;

They only look at 1/4 of these videos? Most of the people I saw are white.

[no_hypocrisy]

12. Mobs like that scare the bejeezus out of me.

Unruly psychotic herds/masses of humans.

[Agent William]

13. Times like these I'm embarrassed to be a human

Is this human stampead of chaos really worth getting 20% off a CD rack or toaster oven??

Now if they were giving shit away, that's completely different... I guess I don't understand this sort of consumer driven panic..

[CLANG]

15. I wouldn't participate if they were giving away ZR-1's

[zeemike]

16. But that is what life is all about is it not....consumerism?

We hear the adds for things all day long and into the night...and it tells us we will be happy if we buy stuff...and these people have been infected with it to the point of a sickness...which they display here.

[unapatriciated]

18. The sad thing is they really are not getting the deals they think they are getting

Anyone who has worked price changes (I have) in retail know how these sales work.

The retailer slowly raises the price weeks or months before the sale than discounts the items just pennies above the original price for the sale.

I have never been to a black friday but have done thousands of price changes.

[CLANG]

14. A sure sign the the end is nigh. What insane savages!

[1monster]

19. As the curmudgeonly cartoon Maxine says

[unapatriciated]

20. I'm with Maxine, screw black friday.

Don't need to experience this type of madness...

just to buy more chinese crap I really can't afford or need.

[tomm2thumbs]

21. Reminds me of how things get when food is distributed after natural disasters

America a madhouse - steel doors can't hold 'em back

(shaking head)

[vaberella]

22. I thought we had an economic crisis. n/t

[TEXASYANKEE]

24. And to think ....

I went to bed at 9pm on Thanksgiving night, slept like a baby, and missed all this excitement!

[dem mba]

25. I guess I don't love my friends and family enough to trample

a stranger in the head to buy them some useless crap at a 50% discount. Sorry Mom and Dad. Love you lots though.
