Ahh the human race. The pinnacle of evolution yet the ability to de-evolve on Black Friday. When I watch these videos I no longer see humans...I see a herd of crazed sheep flinging feces at each other.

I enjoy Black Friday everyday of the year from the comfort of my home. Its called slickdeals.net.

Unless you count longevity of the kind, in which case things like alligators are doing much better than we are. 😛
 
Whats the maximum discount you can get on BF? 50%? 75%?

Its an amazing display of crass consumerism. Truly shows us for the animals we are.

I'd love to see the reactions of the high-up executive sorts at these companies - those with enough money to be capable of buying the property of everyone fighting in the store.
It might be interesting to hear how they view it as well.

Similar to what someone else said, it doesn't take much for a crowd of people to start acting like the screaming primates they are.
 
I remember waiting in line for something only once. It was the release of the wii. I waited in line for 4 hours at target and they sold out the guy in front of me.

I then drove to best buy, walked in and picked up a wii.

It was fucking madness!

It was probably just Sparta...
 
Ive worked retail for one black friday, I had a 12hr shift. They way people rushed the doors doors you would think they were trying to get on the last chopper out of nam. I dont think its worth getting trampled to death to save $10

I did all my shopping this past weekend. BF I went to Home Depot and Lowes I think (picked up that stud finder) I had some other shopping to do. Saturday/Sunday I did Kohls and the mall and it wasn't bad at all, Kohls I managed to get a decent discount they were doin for the weekend. Course all my shopping was after noon.
 
i don't understand why kohls opens at 3 am. it's kohls. there is nothing there worth losing any sleep over, they'll have the exact same sale next week, the week after that, and the week after that. i have to wonder if anyone was there?

I disgree last year was my first BF. Khols had a killer sale on a onita flatware set. We needed new forks and shit so I got up and got it. Normal price was 200 bucks and it was on sale for 80
