all this for $50 off a television. Can you imagine what this country would be like if our economy collapsed and there were actually hungry, poor people in need of food? Beyond scary! All I want for Christmas is a panic room and an armory of weapons.
I’m almost ashamed of being american. Somewhere in heaven god is looking down in disgust. I have never ever participated in such bulls#%t! And I never will.
Animals I tell you, animals, is this really worth it? All over some stupid game or toy for some kid that is not even grateful when they get it because they have been told that it is their right to be given it.
Reminds me of those land claim races they had in the 19th century…I think.

Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you.
Finally got around to watching this video. It’s completely nuts. It does look like the majority of the really crazy rushes are younger crowds. Older, white folks are at home in bed. Waiting a couple hours until they start mouse-clicking a Christmas together.
I went to a Black Friday event about 12 years ago at Best Buy. It was right around the time Black Friday started to become a big deal. Got to Best Buy with my 4 year old nephew (who really, really wanted to go with me) at 5 a.m. for a 6 a.m. opening. I was 2nd in line and got the PC I was there for.
The first 30 people lined up at opening had pre-printed sales slips for the items we claimed prior to opening. So all that was needed was a casual stroll inside, pick up the item (from an employee) and pay and leave. Grown adults ran through the doors, yelling and screaming to SPRINT to their items. That were already theirs. From the claim sheet. It is a very strange phenomenon to see the unbelievable loss of control that overtakes folks at this moment. Crazed greed is about the best way I can describe it.
I don’t care if a $2,000 tv is on sale for $10. I will never, ever, ever line up to buy an item before a store opens again.
I stopped by the walmart here in Philly to get a dozen dog muzzles but they were out. I wound up knocki da bottom out of one of the greeters in the back room. She didnt even thank me for my gift. Beeyotch!
Gordo – perhaps you can set this up, but I would love to see video of people stampeding into a completely empty store. Gates go up, people go in, and there’s nothing there. Or, they could have a floor to ceiling mural of the store (think Bugs Bunny) and have people crash through it into a giant cauldron of lobsters and pesto sauce.
God Bless America and baby Jesus. And the new playstation. And Wal-Mart. And $200 of that 50 inch flat-screen.
so disturbing, we are animals
you usually don’t see Americans storm stores like this if they’re actually paying for the stuff.
All that for a f-ing Cabbage Patch doll!

I hate people.
best part at 2:13 – apparently getting that wig back on trumps getting trampled! lol
Right there with ya brother…
Depressing.
Check about the 2:00 mark as a lady falls down and loses her wig. She makes sure to get the wig back on before getting up. Solid effort.
oops…my wig….at 2:20…..
Lowest common denominator.
these people are sick and make me sick! they are truly mentally unstable people.
I’m almost ashamed of being american. Somewhere in heaven god is looking down in disgust. I have never ever participated in such bulls#%t! And I never will.
The first part of the video is proof that even steel doors can’t stop a zombie horde!!
[...] Best of Black Friday stampedes. Amazing. [...]

I like money!
I like sex.

It looks like everyone there is being chased into that store by someone that is looking to put people to work.

I am ashamed and embarrassed to be a human.
It’s like a bunch of item-starving zombies.

Don’t you know? We watch out for our own!
I hope Europeans are watching this right now and laughing themselves STUPID.
Somewhere, Alexander SuperTramp is smiling.
LOVE the opening scene where on of the dads has his son on his shoulders running with the stampede. DON’T DROP HIM!
