Black Friday

I'm not sure if this is purely an American phenomenon or not so for those that might not know of the evil that is Black Friday. Here's some examples:

YouTube - Deadly Black Friday

It's pretty ridiculous to me and not uncommon for people to get really hurt, trampled and occasionally (very rarely) die.

So... just curious if anyone here will be braving the stores tomorrow? I'm most definitely not leaving my home as I hate shopping and I hate crowds, so extreme amounts of both at once isn't my idea of a good time.

Haha, heck no. @_@ Well, my dad wants to so we can get a new couch as ours is old... Though, i think it's fine (I can nap on it with ease), but I'm the kind of person who uses things until they break... The kind of broken where it would be too dangerous to use it again. o-o I still keep old clothes with holes/stains if the hole is in an unnoticeable area to wear around the house. xD

me and my parents went last year. my autn and uncle were gonna go this year because of this really good sell at best buy but when we drove by at 10pm the line was already going around teh side of the building so we told them and they changed their mind. they keep it pretty orderly around here. the sheriff sets up boundaries so people can't try to cut in line and keep an eye on everyhting. they have k9 units and everything out there.
