Ooooh how I hate Black Friday! Over the past few weeks I’ve been telling everyone how much I loathe this day, in years past I didn’t even recognize it as a day. I used to just sleep it away and pretend it didn’t exist.

Black Friday literally is Satan’s day. Its the day when all the brain washed people mindlessly storm stores at any cost to get crap such as reduced priced dvd players.

Is a cheaper dvd player really worth this?

“He was bum-rushed by 200 people,” said Jimmy Overby, 43, a co-worker. “They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too…I literally had to fight people off my back.”

I mean honestly, how sick are we as a society when we go to these lengths just to get ours. This man who died was only a 34-year-old Wal-Mart worker, trying to do his job to hold these people back. At this same Wal-Mart a 28-year-old pregnant woman was also knocked over and is currently in the hospital. Come on.

“They’re savages,” said shopper Kimberly Cribbs, 27. “It’s sad. It’s terrible.”

Its like this day gives people the right to go completely carnal. To lust after items to such a degree that you’ll do anything to get to them, even trample on somebody to do it.

“When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling ‘I’ve been on line since yesterday morning,’” she said. “They kept shopping.”

How twisted is that?

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” - 1 John 2:15-17

I could go on and on… but instead… I’m gonna go back to bed.
