Title: Walmart death. Pretty ridiculous
Post by: videoholic on November 28, 2008, 11:54:10 AM

Insert racist comment here



On another note, there was a story the other day of some people outside of Best Buy Tuesday...  Seriously...  Friggen Tuesday...  How much can you possibly save?  Over 90 hours before the store opened.  If they saved a thousand bucks (Doubt if they did) that is only 11 bucks an hour..  Would you work all day and night for 4 days straight for a thousand bucks?

And to be honest, they probably saved a couple hundred.

I saw the headline when I logged on. I just have to shake my head. Its amazing that good deals and saving money are worth more than a person\'s life. Those customers at that Wal-Mart should be ashamed. I seriously don\'t see the need to rush the doors. You seriously don\'t save that much money unless you\'re buying expensive crap. And what I also don\'t understand is people keep saying how money is tight with the economy and yet they\'re waiting in line to buy this worthless stuff when they should be saving.

I meant to wake up early this morning to go to Guitar Center to pick up an effects processor but my alarm didn\'t go off (for some reason my cell phone died and that\'s my alarm). I woke up at 11, left my house soon after and managed to get to Guitar Center, compare effects processors, pay and get out all within an hour.

1: Only poor people shop at Wal-Mart . Remember that thread? Think it was Halberto or Swifdi.

2: Only poor people work at Wal-Mart.

3: So this is poor people killing poor people, which means less poor people and more rich.

WOOT?

So without having to make an assumption myself, what exactly are you trying to imply?

His implications might be an insinuation that they are of the negroid race with a touch of ghettoness. Based on my scientific observation, at face value, this is true.

But I have also seen pandamonium in Russia when IKEA opened their doors. Though the fat old babuishkas were too slow to knock anyone down. Hence the lack of death by stampede.

2 shot at Toys R Us

They were all hispanic.  

"two men shot each other dead in front of terrified Black Friday customers."

Do they need to capitalize Black?  It\'s just the color of the customers.  :fro:

This is awful. I get that people push you so it\'s hard to stop, but how can you step on someone? I hope it was the fall that killed him at least, and not the trampling.
 
What they need to do already is set up a velvet rope line on Black Friday and open one door. Problem solved forever.
 
Except for people shooting themselves. Velvet won\'t help that, unless it\'s particularly soft and soothing.

Kinda off topic but I was watching Maury last week (don\'t judge) and they had this black teen on and she said that she didn\'t have to listen to her mom and can go out and have sex with random guys because Obama was president. Damn near fell out of my seat laughing.
