I blame walmart for creating the feeding frenzy (2/3 off WHILE SUPPLIES Last). I've experienced this at a guitar center where they promise to sell a $150 item for $50, but they only have two in stock ... it's nuts. And I can just imagine the poor worker's last thoughts ... the horror. |

| I hope the deceased's family sues Walmart for millions...and wins... (unless they made him sign a 'disclaimer' or a 'hold-harmless' agreement when he was still alive.. :rolleyes: ) |

In the photos, walmart calls the line, the "Blitz" line, I mean really what do they expect.
I've often wondered how we'd evolve if we had descended from an ancestor that was more like the bonobo, which solves disputes with sex and love, than a chimp like ancestor, that solves disputes with guile and violence. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | This or at least someone getting hurt has happened at least once, someplace, every year since I can remember. Frankly I remember it being a LOT worse. Like the years when Cabbage Patch kids, Beany Babies, and Transformers originally hit the market. Cops needed use mace and teargas in department and toy stores to get order.
While this is a good warning to be careful out there... The point has been made, and I'm closing the topic at the request of the author. |
