Black Friday
Well, what a wonderful f***ing start to the holiday season. Merry Christmas, everyone.
Here's the story: Black Friday Carnage
Now, let me see if I understand this...Every year, people freak out the day after Thanksgiving and go on a Christmas spending spree. Every year people fight over toys and sale items and Tickle Me F***ing Elmo (you remember that, right?). This year, however, it gets worse. An employee actually gets trampled and killed. Other people injured, including a woman 8 months pregnant (although I have an aside about her twiginess in a minute).
What is WRONG with you people? Is the ability to give someone a TV for $200 less worth it? Are you kidding me?
According to the psychologists in the article, it's fear of not having stuff...stuff...I don't have enough stuff. I don't have as much stuff as the next guy. Which means, and this is what I thought when I heard about the story without all this info, is it's egotism. Rampant, self-involved, self-centered egotism running rampant through our society. Look at what I can buy you. Aren't I so thoughtful and caring?
And while New York is the only place where someone got killed, people were fighting over stuff all over the country. Well, God Bless Us Every One. Over stuff.
I guess Black Friday is the first day of the most hypocritical time of the year...falalala la la la la...
