Consumerism...

I find Black Friday a useless "holiday". It makes sense if you want to get your Christmas shopping done. But, many people go to stores at 12AM or 4AM to go shopping. Many go for the "discounts". But, from what I've seen from sales catalogs. Not many stores have many discounts. I saw a ps3, normally sold at $399, cost $399 on Black Friday. How much of a discount is it? 0%... Many items that are discounted are only 5% off. The only things that are discounted "reasonably" are clothing. And how big of a craze is this? Well big enough to get killed over it! A worker at Wal-mart was trampled by people lining up for Black Friday. Is a human life worth few dollars in discounts?! Well I leave you with this. The Simpson's making fun of "Mapple" (Apple).
