What I Hear In My Brain When I Watch Black Friday Footage

1. Not me, I'm much more jaded than you are.

The next two days will give me this earworm:

2. But Lee Greenwood say

"The Flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away...."

Remember, freedom is the freedom to shop.

5. I would fully agree with "Piggies"

[AtheistCrusader]

3. What happened the man in the black jacket that got trampled?

He looks like he's having a heart attack.

6. And notice the concern in the eyes of the people who seem so upset by his condition!

I think even wildebeests on the run try to help their injured fellows, but the Black Friday mob would literally trample him to death if he got between them and their prizes. (In fact, didn't that actually happen to some poor s.o.b. last year?)

4. This is what I hear

7. This is only "freedom" for those

with the money to be able to shop for goods made in China.

This whole season literally gets me sick. Capitalism gets me sick. Morons who are spending their hard earned money, even credit, for garbage that they give to folks once a year, so that billionaires can get rich, get me very sick.

This whole garbage about Thanksgiving Day shopping is all about the "holiday" being later than usual, and the corporations being concerned that they will lose a week's worth of sales. So why not exploit the workers, and make them work on the "holiday." They will work, or we will fire them, is what the bosses are thinking.

Why do we only have one day to give to people, and why is it always this garbage? Why can't we give a hand, an ear, or some other support to people the whole year around?

Just my bantering, ranting, and observation.
