Black Friday 2012 Appears To Be A Deathless One. SO FAR.

People being trampled to death in the pursuit of discounted consumer products the day after Thanksgiving has become almost as much of a distinctly American tradition as Thanksgiving itself, but this year’s Black Friday seems to be, at this point anyway, a relatively tame one, compared to past Black Fridays at least.

I’ve scoured the web and can’t find a single story about anyone dying from being trampled this morning. However, that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been some good, old fashioned violence! Check out the video of a near-riot breaking out at a Walmart in Georgia over some electronics…

People in other countries have to be pointing and laughing at us every year on this day, right? Because they should be, especially when it’s all so pointless.
