Grim Website Tallies Black Friday Deaths

This death count website serves as a grim reminder of the lengths people go to for a black friday deal.

The Black Friday death count.

Now that you’re all done shopping, presuming you were in the capitalist druglike euphoria on Black Friday and THANKSGIVING NIGHT was it worth it?

And if you saw one of the 7 deaths and 88 injuries (known so far), would you still do it all over again…?

I fear your answer is yes.

It's chaos and hell already

Some images and videos of Black Friday madness. Humanity at its worst over material garbage.

Black Friday nonsense

My least favorite term being said by everyone today is ‘doorbuster prices’ I always hated that term.
I think it’s more offensive this year since shopping started thanksgiving night and the term was used much earlier than normal.

I think on 2014, we should start the door buster Black Friday sales on Halloween night. Why not.

Don’t get bruised. Don’t get battered.

Chances are, you were already.

When I was driving home with my wife and child from our Thanksgiving family affair, we passed by a Walmart. The place was mobbed with people and cars—so many that people started parking in a dirt and muddy lot that separates the store from the town of St. Clair, PA. God bless the workers tonight who will be faced with bruising and battering that was mentioned above.

People in pajamas flocking to the aisle with the cheap TV. People donning their finest spandex while they flea for iPhones and pads. Maybe iPads.

It was a little horrifying to see so many people out and about in Thanksgiving taking part in such rampant materialism. Couldn’t they wait until 3am for those ‘doorbusters.’…? 

And speaking of doorbusters. I have come to despise that word over the past 36 hours.

This model represents a possible scenario for Thanksgiving/Black Friday next week…

Turkey topped with snow? Maybe.

So this is how modern shopping happens? This resembles more like an end of the world movie than the Christmas spirit.. Materialism at its finest.. and ugliest.

BE PROUD AMERICA. THE WORLD IS WATCHING.
And scratching it’s head in a mixture of disbelief and amusement..
Embarrassing..

Creepy Christmas..

We already know that stores are set to track your ID and see if you are a ‘repeat returner’ of products. 

But this one is a little weirder and Orwellian to me. Store mannequins are not set to watch you as you shop to spy on your shopping habits.

Christmas of the future!

Buy local.  Avoid the all-knowing eyes of the lifeless mannequin. 

Black Friday lament

I heard about a nifty deal today at Sears.. Buy four tires, get a rebate, and get a $100 in store gift card. Sounded great. The trouble if you have to be at Sears between 4am and 1pm Black Friday to take advantage of the deal..

Tires are needed. But do I really want to subject myself to the anarchy that is Black Friday? Is it realllllly worth that?

Are you like me..?

For your sake I hope you’re not. But if you are even slightly like me you are angry that stores are opening early for Black Friday..

It’s black Thursday. Which is Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day/night is now turning into a shopoholic wonderland. 

Even though families will still be sleeping off a big session of overeating, some in the family may have to cut the cranberries short and head for the mall to sit and watch buffoons and materialistic menaces dubbed ‘shoppers’ make for the entrances and race for good buys. While dinner plates are still being washed, some in the family will have to venture for the most dangerous place on earth: In the middle of two largeMarge type persons fighting over a sale. 

They used to have to do this on Black Friday.

This year stores are opening early. Very early. Like ………Thanksgiving evening early.

A little ridiculous in my book.

I know it’s a recession.. and the economy is woeful.. and we need money.. and companies want sales.. But not giving employees just that time to celebrate thanksgiving with family? Instead forcing them into their jobs even earlier than ever?

I say bah humbug. Of course it’s not the season yet to say that. But it’s coming quick. Thanks to stores forgetting about why Thanksgiving is a pretty darn cool day, even earlier.
