After viewing some of the Black Friday videos on YouTube, i just have to say.... Really?
Look, I understand that people can not resist prices so low, it's insane but really? Fights? Stampedes? Pepper spraying? What the hell is wrong with people when a two dollar towel is more important than you just broke someones nose while you were throwing bow's to get to the box! I get that times are tough, money is tight and all that but really? You just pepper sprayed a crowd of people so you could get to the front of the line?
And retailers are not any better. You perpetuate the mob mentality by corralling people in front of the store and then pulling open your gates like you're releasing a damn herd of longhorns. Has no one heard that people have DIED because of this nonsense!?
I'm sorry, im not wealthy by any means but i will gladly pay $40 for a game on Sunday than be crushed to death in the early morning hours of Black Friday trying to get it for $25. Better yet, shop online on cyber Monday from the safety of your home and even in your drawers.
My life is worth a lot more than that 60% discount.
On a lighter note, I went to PC Richards at around 10am on Black Friday. I didnt get trampled or stepped on or crushed against a store front. What I did get was a fantastic deal on 3D LED flat screen TV. No fuss, no muss and no one died.
