Haha the only problem with that is that most (females) don't like buying things without trying them on first.

House is not just a groove. House is a feeling. And when u feel it, you will understand... house music gets you up and makes you high...

Likely the stores will still be open, yes. And yes, there will lots of Canucks hopping the border.

However most of the deals are just door crashers so by that time in the evening, nothing will really be left in the type of "Black Friday" sale.

Originally posted by Chris Allen OK, Black Friday has officially gotten out of hand. A 34-year-old WalMart employee was trying to hold back the crowds at a Long Island store this morning at 5am, when they took the doors off their hinges and stormed the store. The man fell down and was trampled by over 200 people as he gasped for air. It's sad and despicable, and it's equally the fault of the dehumanized shoppers and the WalMart store it happened at. Why was there no line set up? Why didn't they let in a reasonable amount of people at a time? What kind of method is it to just allow hundreds of people to cram up against the doors, waiting for them to open? They may have wanted some photo op of people surging through the doors, but they willfully created a very dangerous situation. Can you imagine if, say, the Apple store did this when the iPhone was launched? Or when the Wii was launched? When a large amount of people are expected for a retail event, organization is needed, otherwise it creates a dangerous situation. This man's death is on WalMart's hands. As for the people who did the trampling, well, I hope their cheap crap was worth it. They'll have to live with the human costs of their deals for the rest of their lives. Gizmodo.com

It's not Walmart, its Walmart's customers who created this. People buying an iPhone or Wii on the launch day are not the same as people looking to penny pinch on Black Friday. It's a different consumer entirely.

I guess walmart could have done more. What I expect is that they saw this year's madness as no different than last year's, and just set things up in the exact same way.

A lot of retail industry analysts were worried that black friday would lower key because of the general state of the economy and how the consumer has been hit thus far. All previous retail figures pointed to a weaker start to the holiday shopping. I guess what's happened is that Americans haven't given up their desire to spend - they're just more willing to fight for the deals. Sad.

There's a video on youtube of CPR being performed on the walmart employee. So sickening.

wow that's terrible

So, like, does anyone get charged?

I guess no one is (can be?) held responsible?

Wow. That REALLY sucks for that man's family and his close friends.

How brutal and disgusting.

Wow.
