I'm really starting to hate people.

Matthew Lopez went to the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch on Thursday night for the Black Friday sale but instead was caught in a pepper-spray attack by a woman who authorities said was "competitive shopping."

These people are really crazy!

We had a sale 3 weeks ago on disney DVD's at our local shop. I don't need disney dvd's and knowing the crowd that would appear I didn't go anyway.

A friend of mine did go and he waited outside while his wife got some dvd's. He waited 2 hours(!) then his wife finally came out of the shop with only 3 dvd's.

waiting for 2 hours, getting crushed and pushed over is not worth saving €5,- euro's over!

I consider two hours of my time pretty valuable even if I'd otherwise be home sitting on my ass playing online. I honestly can't think of anything that I'd spend that much time and effort on unless it was a breadline and I had a starving family to feed.

My thoughts exactly!

Here's an example of Black Friday:

And yet more Black Friday fun. Cops busted this guy's head open when they threw him to the floor in front of his wife and grandchild for allegedly shoplifting.

That's ridiculous. It's not shoplifting until they try to leave, right?

Like a colony of rats fighting over a limited amount of cheese.

That is sick! The police just keep moving him around the place, like they havn't a clue what to do with him and his injuries!

I may be missing the point here but why not just wait until they appear in the discount bins?
