Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers: Douchebags in Aisle 7




I realize someone died in this mess, and I am not going to make light of THAT issue. This has happened in the past, and it appears that retailers do not learn from the past. Security should have been posted at every entrance, and before the doors opened, there should have been a guy with a megaphone or something telling the shoppers that they are to be orderly and respectful. But, of course the doors open and body parts go flying everywhere, and shit falls off the shelves, and lands on grandma's head; all for the sake of junior having a Merry Christmas.

Well, when the kids unwrap their gifts, I hope these people sit there and realize that the commercialization of the holidays caused that poor sap to get trampled.

Now, having said that, I need to go to bed with my laptop, so I can load songs onto my iPod, which I will connect to the car stereo as I drive to Target...Wal-Mart is too crazy for me.

Christmas was never intended to be about the gifts but certainly the stores, and us, have perpetuated it. No toy is worth someone dying. I do place the blame on Walmart for making it a money grab and abusing people who are trying to stretch their dollars. It's just sad.
