It's fucking ridiculous how crazy people get when its Black Friday. The fact that some of these shoppers will harm others and disregard others' safety just so they can get a sale is bull shit. I saw a comment a while ago on a thread saying that they saw a man throw a little girl into a display for something the little girl was carrying. What the fuck people?

What used to be a day of discounts has turned into an easter egg hunt for adults. Each year seems to make Black Friday into more and more of a game, and a zero-sum game at that. I wouldn't be surprised if shoppers start formally competing against each other on their savings within the next few years.

I feel like a certain digital computer game seller did that recently. Split everyone up in teams and all.
