The Fan

OK WTF. REALLY. WHAT THE FRIGGEN FUCK.

A 13 year old working at Wal-Mart trying to calm a crowd down on Black Friday, got trampled because these damned idiots wanted in to buy something for 15 percent off.

Dude, Americans sicken me sometimes.

Miss Matchmaker · Posted November 29th, 2008, 05:27 PM

The worker was 39. That was just his picture when he was 13.

But yeah, like the guy said,
people will KILL for a good deal. That's kinda sad.

Oh, musta misheard something xD

But still, that's friggen PATHETIC. People put themselves before others, they want to save damned money so bad they'll literally kill someone! Accident or not!

What sickens me more is people were still doing their shopping after wards.
You see people with big tvs going back to their cars while the stretcher is being led to the ambulance.

I can only imagine the thoughts going through some people. 'I think I stepped on him...'

This is the reason I stay at home on Black Friday.

I was reading some about this... The horrific part is that some people were getting all pissed off and upset when they wanted to clsoe the store because of the death! The thing is this also isn't the first time. I've seen these stories over the past few years... And why does it always seem to be at a Wal-Mart?!

Wal-Mart and Target seem to have the best deals it seems. I usually go to the Malls for this type of thing.

I never go on Black Friday. To crowded >> I wait it out a few weeks or go the week before the sales to save myself.

That's really sad. :[

People just don't care about anyone but themselves, that's why. A general statement, of course, but no less true. They're freakin animals, their primal instincts surfacing at this time of year, pushing and shoving and not caring about anyone but themselves. Yeah, that's what the holidays are all about. I'm going to rant about the holidays in my blog! ^_^

Ack! Don't get me started on holidays! People spending thousands upon thousands of dollars to buy stuff to illuminate their houses and show off to their neighbors. How about instead of wasting that money, go help an orphan? But, good heavens, of course not! That's something Jesus might have done! We will instead of celebrate the birth of a child born into poverty in a barn by wasting thousands of dollars. Ladies and gentlemen, this is what's known as a stunningly ironic situation. Bah!

Ra,

Wha... What?! Like help an orphan what? Oh! You mean like hire an orphan to put up the lights in my front yard? Brilliant! I get to be festive, show-off *AND* help an unfortunate orphan. This is sure to result in extra presents for me! Score!

Ra,

Are you suggesting we barbecue the orphan??? That's just sick! You know Ra, there's edgy then there's offensive.

LOL @ BBQ'd Orphans - Crispy Timmy's: It's what's for dinner!

Seriously though about the topic/article itself, this is why I do most of my holiday shopping online. I usually start as early as Octoberish or as late like this year as early November. That way it saves on delays or returns, and it saves on stress and crap like Black Friday.

And for those who are gonna say "You're not supporting Canadian or American stores in this tough time!" Shut up. Most of my shit this year is coming from ebay sellers across my country so I don't have to deal with customs bull-konky.

Yeah, because WAL-MART really needs our support during the holidays! That'll boost the economy for sure!

We have more than just the superstores here in Canadaland keep in mind.

There's quite a few smaller shops and such around my area and out of town who were doing awesome before the economic crapcake. I figure I'm helping the little business at least ebaying Canadian sellers you know?

Also off on a random note: this front desk's keyboard needs to die @_@;;;
