Black Friday

I was just thinking about the whole ridiculousness of the Black Friday phenomenon.  People are committed to standing and waiting for sometimes days just to get a deal on a discounted item, Flat Screens for half off or Laptops buy one get one free.  Is a deal worth that much?  I saw the news yesterday and a man has been camped outside of Best Buy since Wednesday in hopes of getting a 42 inch flat screen T.V. for 200$ Now its true that this is a hell of a deal but damn, since Wednesday... Do you have a job? And if so do they know you have been out since Wednesday waiting for a T.V.? Could you imagine sitting there for 48 hours defending your spot in line lol the pressure must be tremendous...  I don't know if a sale is worth that much, as a matter of fact I'm almost certain it isn't.  At some point you have to place value on the time spent and the effort made and in that case that T.V. cost you much more than 200$.... that T.V. has now become the most expensive T.V. in the world because you wasted two days to get it.  You have sacrificed Thanksgiving, time with family, work, and all other sorts of daily pleasures just for a sale.  Absolutely crazy in my opinion.  Not to mention he was out there with his son lol does anyone know the number to CPS...?


If America is truly serious about this Black Friday thing then it should apply to other aspects of our society as well... Do prostitutes have discounted prices on Black Friday?  If I go to the strip club today will it be acceptable to throw change instead of dollars?  It is Black Friday and a deal is a deal.   Where are the price cuts from drug dealers on this wonderful day of deals?  How much weed can I get for 10 bucks and please take note that I have this coupon and it is Black Friday.  If I get a speeding ticket today, will the fine be at a cheaper rate and if so do I have to mail in the rebate or can you just process it right here.  We as a nation should really take steps to make this Black Friday thing official, global even. A day of discounts for all, so get out you camping gear and your coupons because Black Friday is here and we all love a sale.
