    $50 laptop sale sets off violent stampede



    "One woman went so far to wet herself rather than surrender her place in line."

    "People threw themselves forward, screaming and pushing each other. A little girl's stroller was crushed in the stampede. Witnesses said an elderly man was thrown to the pavement, and someone in a car tried to drive his way through the crowd."

    Sounds like insanity....is a four year old used apple ibook really worth it?
    Push the envelope, watch it bend.

        Jesse Sandler said he was one of the people pushing forward, using a folding chair he had brought with him to beat back people who tried to cut in front of him.

                Pretty fucking funny...and those people they interviewed weren't the brightest minds on the block too I think

                      Someone actually tried to drive a car through a crowd like that?? Stupidity is amazing.

                        Here's a story of how out-of-touch some of these people really are:

                        I was an Operations Manager for Best Buy a few years back in Gainesville, FL. As you all know, the day after Thanksgiving is labelled 'Black Friday' and is the busiest shopping day of the year. Well, we had some special about 4 years ago that was a $29 DVD player that was one of those 'door buster' 6 hour sale items. In one of the other stores in our district (Jacksonville - Regency) there was a couple in line waiting before we even opened. Husband and his pregnant wife burst through the doors as soon as they opened and started running toward the DVD player. Wife trips over an end-cap and falls, husband continues to DVD player and grabs one. Comes back to make sure that wife is ok. Managers are already on the scene and are calling paramedics. She gets put into the back of an ambulance and the paramedics tell the husband that he can sit in the back with his wife. He proceeds to tell them...

                        Get this...

                        That he's going to stay back so he can buy the DVD player. They sue Best Buy and the company settles for a nice 5-digit sum.

                        A good shower head and my right hand - the two best lovers that I ever had.
