Giving Thanks This Year For My Riot Gear

Reports began surfacing over the weekend of violent rioting and female fist-fighting at several Walmart locations across the country when shoppers feverishly flocked to the store chain for price-slashing deals on what has been called the busiest shopping day of the year, Black Friday.

The holiday shopping season began with a boisterous bang as bargain hunters stormed the stores after waiting in line, some for over 10 hours, for discounted deals on everything from laptop computers to video game playstations, and even diapers, dishes and Doritos -- original and Cool Ranch flavors.

In one Florida Walmart, police and security forces were called in to break up disputes among the angry masses, as ambulances took several customers to nearby hospitals after being trampled and crushed in the frenzy. There are even reports computers and boxes of toys were being flung in the air, used as weapons to defend against line-cutters and shopping-cart carnivours.

I propose a name change from Black to Poor-White-Trash Friday.
