[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1664898, member: 229"] The funny thing is that BlackFriday was a myth up to the last year or so - all the violence and craziness was over-emphasized by the media (i.e. the Toys-R-Us shooting over a toy was really a gang-related shooting between two people who knew each other before they got to the store, etc.). There were historically much more violent shopping fights and incidents of stupidity on other shopping days (Right before Christmas, right after Christmas, back-to-school, Fall/Spring clearance sales, etc.). Black Friday wasn't even the biggest shopping day of the year (not even in the top 5) until 2003 when the media started reporting on how it was in trouble because of "Cyber Monday" which wasn't crap at the time. The problem is that the herds are so dumb, they've started to follow the craziness as an example of what to do instead of what not to do. Its like watching reality television and then life imitates art.
