The notion of camping out in front of Best Buy is hilarious, but not nearly as hilarious as her trying to explain herself in the video. If I were in St. Petersburg, I'd be tempted to be an *** and just cut in front of her on the morning of when they open the stores.

Those people are crazy, you would probably end up with 46 stab wounds.

Black friday is stupid anyways. Even without camping getting up at four to save 50 dollars on a tv is retarded. And normally you can get the same savings online and you never have to leave your house.

I'm one of those sorts who spends NO MONEY on Black Friday. I'll buy food, but I refuse to do any Christmas shopping on that day. Now, I admit that there are times that I must (like when I travel to OKC for Thanksgiving and I don't want to stand in line at the Post Office). And it's great that I can give all my nieces and nephews gift cards -- even better when I can go to one mall and get all four in under an hour.

Camping out for Led Zeppelin tickets back in the 70's made sense to me so who am I to judge?

I don't need any walls.... I frankly don't see the appeal of that store.

Everyone needs an extra wall or twelve. And at such low low prices how can you lose?

I worked retail when I was in high school and college. There is no way in hell I would go near a mall on Black Friday unless they were giving away blood diamonds.

Copy that. I put myself through college working at the damn mall. Never again. I spend Black Friday snuggled up on the couch in my jammies. Moreover, I believe people who actually get excited about this obnoxious display of consumer culture need to be in intensive therapy. In my book, black Friday shoppers are filling the emotional voids in their lives with $29 DVD players, and it's really kind of sad.

I fill my emotional void with jagermeister and cheap hookers.

It works.

Do people try to convince you it's fun and you should come with? Every freaking year I go through that with someone and every year I refuse to go.

It's a point of pride for me. :D

Well I shaved my beard recently so I'm only sporting the 'burns now. Other than that, spot on.

I would just stay up all night at the moon tower party and then road trip to Houston for Aerosmith tickets.

So, you worked retail thus you probably know what I'm talking about: the "Day After Christmas" crowd is a few degrees worse than the Black Friday shoppers. Watching grown people cuss, fight and scratch each other over a table full of marked-down xmas ornaments is one of the more pathetic displays you'll ever witness.

OMG, I still have nightmares!!! I have never in my life seen alleged grownups behave so poorly in a fight for 50% off Christmas cards. Way to live that peace and goodwill thing, beyotch!!
