Once again we have more or less survived Black Friday on this side of the pond. And once again we have proven a good portion of the US population are greedy, self important assholes with no regard for their fellow Americans. All it takes is Black Friday to remember why Greed is a deadly sin (no pun intended).

Now there is nothing in the world, not even the NN women (sorry ladies), that I would stay outside in a line all night long for. Not a computer for $349, not a 42 inch plasma for $799, not free Guiness, NOTHING. But people do. Then when the doors open they act like a revenous pack of wild dogs. Every year it seems someone is injured or killed by the crowd rushing into the store. This year it happened to be a 43yo temp worker trying to make some extra money so his family could have a nice x-mas.

This is more or less my bitch against the two faced Christians who think nothing of making sure THEY are the ones to get the "it" gift for this year never realizing what the real reason for Christmas is.

This blog was really just for me since I'm not sure anyone reads this drivel but it made me feel good to get it off my chest.

1. Where did you get the idea that they were christians?

2. Seems to me the WalMart shares the greed as they provide the reason for the stampede with doing anything to protect their workers. They had to know or should have been able to predict the large crowd and should have taken action to protect their employees.

The world isn't fair. Corporate greed & consumerism are the biggest sins in my book. Stay inside & wank, it's the safest thing to do x
