No, the title has never happened to me personally. I just thought it was eerily fitting.
Tomorrow I am taking a friend on a casual date. A trip to the mall, maybe lunch afterwards, time (and boredom) permitting. It's nice to know there are girls out there who share my view of the craziness that sometimes happens. And crazy is something there's not a shortage of.
Black Friday has been around now for ages. But for the first time, it's getting a massive amount of attention. Whether it be South Park's three part trilogy, or a shorter shopping season for Christmas (all I need this year is my family home), America has gone berzerk. HINT: you could have started shopping weeks ago!
And here are some of the stories: a stun gun attack at a Philadelphia mall, a brawl breaking out at the Danbury Fair Mall (a mall I braved many Christmas shopping seasons with my folks when I was a little squirt), Walmart protestors (but then again, most retailers have a rough history with their employees). And there's a site that details all this: Black Friday Death Count. Five by their records, and who knows if that count will increase.
I know this, says my sick and twisted side: I'm going to sit back and enjoy the free entertainment of people fighting over commercialism! There's a war on Christmas, and it's being fought in our nation's malls.
