Rampant Consumerism Still Strong

Yesterday was Black Friday...the day when Americans stomp security guards to death and shoot each other in Toysrus across the country to get dibs on the latest tickle me Elmos and cheap flatscreen TVS.

Time and time again it amuses me to see just how freakin stupid the american consumer is....fresh off 4 dollar gas on coming right on the heals of cold weather and the ensuing heating bills....they line up in the frigid dark of early morn....for what? To get door busters....door-freakin-busters....what the f*ck? I always thought that was a hell of a term...do the retailers actually want a frothing public worked up with visions of cheap electronics and pumped full of starbucks knocking down their doors? Apparently they do...even if that means some poor security guard in Long Island gets killed.

I hope the family of that poor fella sues the marketing folks behind these stupid sales gimmicks.

Being that it is near the holidays I am going to share with you some of my hopes and dreams:
I hope that people who bought any type of GPS or flatscreen TV or needless electronic on a credit card get their limits reduced and their minimum payments doubled. I hope that all Americans learn to live within their means. I hope the Salvation Army gets all the donations that it needs. Its a sad day in America when a family can go hungry while another family tramples a man to death just to get a hundred dollar GPS.

What's wrong with using a map?
