Morning!

Yeah, im with you Torn. My mom and sister do the 3am black friday shop stalking shit. You know, it's not really any big secret to the allure. It's simple marketing - manufacturers start a blitz of advertising for the latest game console (this year, Xbox 360) so that every kid thinks they just have to have it. Then they only ship 5 to each Walmart. WTF?! Are we so fucked up that we'll resort to gimmicks like this simply to draw in crowds? What about the kids who WON'T be getting a shiny new xbox this year because Mom and Dad were 26th in line since Midnight? Fuck... you guys got me fired up already... only 8:40 my time and I'm already rolling

HAHA Dead on right though, I have no interest bumping elbows with every scuzzball at walmart fighting for the latest Elmo doll (that's one of the ones that started the popularity of this marketing craze, you'll recall!).

I'm going to drink coffee and look at naked women for a while, and then, once the crowds have cleared out and sales have ended, I'll load up with the wife and go pay full price for shit like a good little American.

=/\= GobGook Out.
