Too right we wouldn't. We'd just throw punches instead.

Comment underneath from a Huffington Post blogger: What those who criticize and poke fun at the deal-starved camper don't consider is that many of them weren't there for the sport of Black Friday -- it's a necessity
So electrical goods are now a 'necessity'?

... now that's something which wasn't advertised for Black Friday at Walmart - "Free Pepper Spray" (*restrictions apply)

Still, person has balls considering that someone could have just gone over to the gun department.....

Have a sneaky feeling that the response was sarcasm...

Is this what certain elements of the political right would applaud as American business savvy at its best?

As a Brit I'd feel strongly enough to write a stiffly worded letter to The Times... it's outrageous!!!

I believe some members of the human race feel that certain cucumber-shaped electrical goods (oo-er missus) are a necessity...

At our local Walmart, at 11.45 p.m., on Christmas Day (yes that was the time, they opened a few minutes early), the police had to be called, because 2 women got into a fight over a cell phone, and brought the whole rack down.

This is just silly. People need to think back to they very first year in school when everyone was 5 years old and remember that the only real necessities to survive are Food, Clothing, and shelter.:)
