A guy points a banana at a cop named Bunch, in the town of Fruitvale?

This has to be some form of bullshit...

Taken out of context this is one hell of a sentence:

"Love was drawing his service weapon when Channing yelled, 'It's a banana!"'

And that story only got one star.

Mayhem as US 'Black Friday' hits Britain

Attachment 49702

'Black Friday' was introduced to the UK by Amazon in 2010. In the great capitalist scheme of things it was/is a cunning piece of marketing and it kick starts the Christmas shopping season quite effectively.

It's always been the tradition to start the sales immediately after the Christmas and New Year's Day holiday. In recent years, the sales have started on 26th December despite it being a public holiday.
Presumably the thinking is 'if we can shift our tat on November 28th, why wait until December 26th'?

Today I had, through force of circumstance, to travel to the nearby town for a couple of errands. I had a fair idea that the retail park I had to visit would be busy so I left the car in the town centre car park and walked the few hundred yards there. The parking area was full to bursting so that was one of my better decisions. The branch of Argos I visited wasn't any busier than usual so I assume that other premises had cut prices to attract that amount of attention.

Various TV news outlets have been showing the stampedes in supermarkets and department stores across the country. Bedlam doesn't describe it.

Read and weep. (See the video and gasp in amazement.)

ETA: I've just heard 'Newsroom' on the BBC World Service where they finished off with a report from Oxford Street, London's Temple to Mammon.
Several interviewees related how far they had travelled, how long they had queued and how much they had spent.

At the end of the report, Jackie Leonard the presenter abandoned her duty to be impartial and could only utter the words 'They're all mad...'

^WHS^

Why worry about a potential wardrobe malfunction when there's a 50" TV at stake?

The Daily Mail has its shortcomings but the photo coverage of today's scrums is worth a look.

Mail Online

Cheerleaders keep crowds going at the Wembley store in north London this morning as hundreds descended on the store for sales ...
Attachment 49703

Allllriiiight! What are competitions without cheerleaders! We need more of this. ;)

I deny being the same species as those dumbasses. I am a human being. Those are fucking idiots.

I also deny being a cheerleader.

No matter what Sarge and/or Sheldon tell you.

So, this is what American hegemony looks like. You're welcome.:yelsick:

Neatly summed up, sir. :thumb:




The poor woman who opened one of the doors will probably have nightmares for weeks.

"This TV's not worth it," she said disgustedly... as she stood in line paying for the fucking TV she fought to get.


The way to make this bullshit stop is for everyone to stop complaining about Christmas stuff being too early when it comes before Thanksgiving. Because I'll tell you right now, as someone who has to shop for 4 kids in my nuclear family plus a ton of extended relatives who have never agreed to a "draw one relative out of the hat because we have too many damn relatives" scheme... 3 weeks is not enough time to get good presents for everyone. It's just not. Yes, I could go to the mall and get a shitty present for everyone in a couple of hours, but giving a shitty present is worse than giving no present. I started thinking, planning, and shopping for Christmas presents before Thanksgiving, and the sooner we all do that, the sooner we can get rid of this artificial start date.

When Best Buy sends out a flyer that says "get your Black Friday deals a week early!" and no one gets all bitter and cries foul, the trampling will stop.

safely ensconced in my rural retreat it is easy for me to ignore all the hullabaloo and consequently not get all het up about it.

That and the whole thing is moot since I haven't got any money to spend at the moment.

And, those cheerleaders are way over-dressed. IMO
