Last week’s Black Friday summoned the truly black-hearted. Of course, minor fisticuffs happen every year because people who wake up at 2 AM to get 25% off Elmo Live are innately depraved and homicidal. But swirl in the fact that our economy is a giant flaming bag of dog shit and you’ve got yourself the bloodiest round of post-Thanksgiving sales ever.
Highlights included two guys who shot and killed each other at a Toys “R” Us, an unlucky Wal-Mart employee who was flattened by a stampede of soulless bargain hunters, and in-store footage of sociopaths wrestling over an X-box 360 like they were all just bitten by zombies and it was the last dose of vaccine on the scorched earth.
