Just food for thought: you AREN'T saving any money if you are buying items strictly BECAUSE it is Black Friday.
Heh, I look on it as there's a few people who have read it and will think about it. No need to be overly negativeBX3 said:
I've been called many things in my time. 'Angel' isn't one of them, except when one woman said I looked like David Boreanaz from the show of that name.imnotparanoid said:
For the record, I don't, but I was flattered anyway.
I heard that. There's a bunch of games on my Steam list I've not even downloaded - nevermind played - which I bought solely because they were on sale. I've got no idea if I'll ever get around to them.DrunkPickle said:
I was actually surprised when I went out black friday shopping that things were... peaceful and calm. I think I ended up going shopping in this weird 'dead zone' of time. The people who wanted the best deals had already come and gone since many stores opened early. Most other people weren't bothered enough to get up that early and go get stuff.
The longest I had to wait in line was for 2 minutes with 2 people ahead of me. And, while they were sold out of the items I was looking for at one place (Meijer's sale on Gears 3, RAGE, and Starfox 3D), the other store had more then enough. Same with Best Buy and Sam's Club. I was incredibly surprised.
The reason I say that is to show there was absolutely no reason for this woman to go insane with pepper spray or these people to act like animals trying to get to the TVs and other things. Freaking idiots.

What can be said about this sort of thing? The deals usually aren't THAT great, even so they are not worth going through the trouble of waiting and fighting for them, especially now that everyone should know there is a small chance they'll literally be killed and a better chance they'll be injured. Black Friday is way too over-hyped, people don't even care about the sale as much as they care about getting out and competing, it's really disgusting how materialistic people have gotten. Two years ago I went out to stores with my friends, not to shop, just to watch the insanity, I was left speechless, it was akin to watching villagers struggle to receive much needed water from the back of a truck so they didn't die of thirst, except these people were just swarming to save fifty bucks.
That would imply that it get smarter the larger it is.Malty Milk Whistle said:

Anyways, this is just completely stupid. So amazingly stupid it makes me ashamed to be part of a nation that has this happen.
WHAT THE HELL, PEOPLE?!
If walmart had any respect for their customers, they'd do something similar to Best Buy where they either hand out tickets or let them in to create lines inside the store. The fact that they STILL haven't enacted some kind of safety measures for this indicates how little they care what happens to the consumer, as long as they're buying stuff.
That is hilarious. Sad, but so funny.
I also only thought shit like that only happened in movies and ads and such. It just seems far too.... cliché. Although I guess they've got to come from somewhere.
Oh dear christ. The one at 0:50 looked like a fucking zombie attack. I don't think I would have been able to be a security man there. Too much of an erge to go "Get 'em in the head!"Soviet Heavy said:
