I saw this on the news tonight. I especially like the images of the crushed baby strollers, .

Oh look, a great deal on used laptops ... let's abandon all rational
:wacko:

Occurances as such make me want to be apart from society.

Watching that stampede on TV is just like watching Big Brother, a bunch of selfish people willing to do whatever it took to get what they wanted, even step on eachother and crush babystrollers!

The mob mentality is quite a scary thing when you see it in action. I'll never forget the L.A. riots.. but damn... stampeding to get food, or escape a fire, or during an earthquake I can understand... but not stampeding to buy laptops LOL

I will bet my lovely collection of buttons and belly-lint that none of the livestock NEED the laptop, but merely want it.

Yes consumerism at it's best! Imagine all the marketers salivating at the footage of people stampeding to buy a product... I bet they envy the marketing company that created the frenzy

Well, it IS Virginia..

I like the guy who said that he felt justified in hitting people over the head with a chair because they got in front of him in line.

Or the woman who wet her pants rather than give up her place in line.

Or the guy who drove his car into the crowd.

and all for 4-year old i-books.

That asteroid couldn't come fast enough.
