I've come across a few Black Friday videos in the past few days.

You know, people beating the living shit out of each other to buy the latest thing that will either be obsolete or out of style by next Christmas.

I really cannot get my head around that stuff. Why the hell do people do this?

Seems like the trashiest shit ever.

Go do a good deed instead, you idiots.

What ever was pronounced to be the 'must have' toy, of the season, she had to have for her kids, regardless of whether or not they even wanted one. She became very offended when I voiced my opinion about her getting sucked into participating in something like that. I have long since cut any connections to her, but somehow I suspect she's still at it.

I live in a very retail heavy area and do my best to NOT have to venture out on that day.
