    @Nathan Obbards: No need. Just take my advice. When you go into the door, body check the old lady next to you into one of the end displays...

    "Why the old lady?" you may ask. Let me explain. A teenager or young adult will take at least 3 or 4 hits to take down, and they will likely get up within a few seconds. The old woman on the other hand will likely only take one hit and stay down. Eliminating the weaker members of the herd will increase the likelihood that you will get the deal you were looking for, as well as cull the weak from the gene pool.

    @Toastie:

    on that note - you know how you can't buy beer with food stamps?

    well, why the fuck CAN you buy an HDTV with motherfucking welfare checks? or unemployment checks?

    it came to me the other day how obvious of a loophole that is. as a Libertarian i'm fundamentally opposed to social programs like welfare, but given that it already exists, i'd at least like to see some sort of regulation on the spending of that money. the fact that somewhere, someone on the dole is playing CoD MW2 on a bigger TV than i have while I'm at work rather sickens me. #blackfriday2009

    Sometimes you can find deals on stuff you DO need. Or your wife says you need it.

    Is there a difference? #blackfriday2009

    They are also going to have crappier deals this year:
    Ramen noodles-$14
    Pringles-4/$139
    16TB of cloud storage-$4096
    Bananas-$87/lb
    It's a shame too, there's not much there for the kids. =( #blackfriday2009

    Give one to every citizen. If everyone has a gun, nobody will shoot for fear of getting shot themselves. Either that or it will turn into a giant game of "burning sensation" laser tag.
