Black Friday claims another life.....

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081128/ap_on_re_us/wal_mart_death

OK, I'm sorry, but there are just no words for this. This poor man was trampled to death by shoppers who just couldn't wait to get in the store. And for what? $4 slippers and half off TVs? What has the world come to when people resort to this kind of brutality in the name of getting a shopping bargain?
The worst part of all was when the story said that when shoppers were told they had to leave because someone had died and they were complaining because they had stood in line for 3 hours to get in!
Like I said, there aren't words for this. Well, maybe there are a few, but I'm too polite to use them here.

When I saw this, I was thinking they need to re-order the whole Black Friday thing. When "the sport" of shopping becomes deadly, something is obviously so wrong!!! Someone needs to put a stop to the madness.
