bargains at a price


this is about how much I don't like black friday, if you are a big fan don't read this, you may find it offensive.

I don't like black friday and I think it is a huge waste. every year people get trampled, beat up, and mauled all for the coveted tickle me Elmo. why? I thought Christmas was supposed to be about giving and caring, not greed! I have a super religious brother that doesn't shop on sundays, and he told me he didn't want any of my tainted sunday bought gifts last year...what I should have replied was that I didn't want any of his stupid bargain black friday gifts. I don't understand why people go crazy just to save a couple of dollars. I don't know, maybe it's just me. I just don't think it's worth risking your life. this year a guy got trampled to death because he had to open the door, which the shoppers tried to rip off the wall. and for what? then after he was reported dead, the greedy shoppers refused to vacate the store because they wanted their stupid bargains so much. people are dumb. that's why I try to get all my shopping done before thanksgiving, because I don't want to risk my life to get someone a present that they probably don't want anyway.
