Black Friday

This blog was born out of a desire, or perhaps even need to express how awed I am at the depth of human stupidity. Why? After watching holiday shoppers trample each other for $5 slippers on "Black Friday", what other conclusion can one draw?

What really pushed me over the edge was a picture of an 11-year-old girl at the front of a crowd at some Wally Mart. The image of her little face squashed against a metal gate speaks volumes both to the parents and the apes amassed behind her. In fact, Planet of the Apes is what came to mind as the local T.V. station ran a loop of these baboon like morons leaping over fallen bodies to purchase or steal dollar store junk at a Wal-Mart.

PEOPLE: This crap is on sale all the time. All this junk is made in China by little kids they don't have to pay and floods every U.S. store large and small.

A couple of months ago, Best Buy had DVD players for less than 30 bucks. A few weeks later, more than half the pile was still there. If it was 29 bucks today, some smelly, toothless, knuckle dragging Darwin award candidate would have gladly stepped on your head to get to it.
