Seriously????
People shoved?
Trampled?
Punched?
Tasered?
Shot?
Pepper-sprayed?
Over a bunch of plastic, silicon and wires??
Over clothes and shoes sewn by children and women in Asian sweatshops?
Over toys that will be tossed aside by New Year's Day 2012?
Over electronics and other distracting doo-dads that will be obsolete in a year or so and ripe for yet another pricey upgrade?
[This shit passed the boundaries of capitalist insanity a long, looooooong time ago, but it's times like this when I can almost hear the laughter of the aliens many people believe are monitoring our planet -- I can't help but picture the 2 one-eyed, tentacled guys from The Simpsons...drooling and laughing maniacally....while another silver-haired grandmother tackles a 15 year old for a flashy $500 electronic gadget. Beam me up, Scotty]
