So black friday...

[P3nT4gR4m]

News is a proper lulzfest right now (so much so I'm actually watching it)

In a nutshell UK retailers have imported the great american tradition of slashing prices for a day then inviting everyone to come along to the stores and beat the shit out each other.

So that's how it was advertised and it's scotland so, in the interests of keeping alive our culture of drunken violence, my fellow countrymen took the retailers up on their generous offer of somewhere to go and kick fuck out each other.

So a couple of stores got a bit trashed in the process and there was plenty carnage. As advertised. Now the retailers are all upset cos... they got what they asked for?

How is this any different from the average Friday in Scotland?

Usually the fighting is in pubs or streets or in the comfort of your own home. This being invited to tesco to break legs with the merchandise is something new and exciting!

They're trying to import it to Norway too. Without even bothering to translate the words "Black" and "Friday". Most Norwegians reply like this:

I bought a french press, because my kid broke my housemate's french press.

There is nothing I want so badly that I'd actually go into a crowded shop for it.

Personally, I think everyone who took part in Black Friday in the UK should be deported.  There, immigration issues solved.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

oh i would never have actually gone out to the shops and taken part physically.

because that way crowds, madness and panic attacks lie.

I just went to the grocery store. There was hardly anyone there, it was great.

Saturday is still busy enough, in the store I work in.

I have to say, and I know this is due to my low opinion of the Stereotypical Average American, but I'm pretty ashamed that this country has imported, wholesale, a crass and entirely commercial "event" with no redeeming virtues or indeed purpose beyond lining the pockets of an ogliopoly of stores. 

Then again, I also have a low opinion of the Stereotypical Stupid Brit, so I'm not entirely sure why I'm disappointed.

It's a fairly horrifying tradition and I hate it. I can't imagine why other countries would want it.

Because our population is RETARDED and DOESNT EVEN KNOW. 

I blame alcoholism caused by the John Major years leading to an epidemic of fetal alcohol syndrome babies.
