It’s one of the most chaotic days of the year aside from an actual natural disaster. People line up in lines that seem to go for miles in the hope they’ll score an awesome deal on some gift for the upcoming holiday season. All that is sacred is thrown straight out the window as people literally beat the living snot out of each other in order to score an Xbox 360 bundle for $199. Crowds in stores turn into gladiator matches, with people yelling, kicking and punching their way to the front of the line.

Every year it seems some poor bastard gets killed in one of these mobs, and all for what? The biggest deal of the year. Is getting a new flat screen TV for the family worth dying over? Apparently for some people, it is.

This year, mobs waiting for the doors to open at a Walmart managed to somehow unhinge the front doors and break their way into the store. The massive flood of people trampled one of the employees, costing him his life in the process. How the hell you justify killing another person in order to save $100 this season?

In most ads, stores point out that they have a VERY limited supply of special sale products. How limited? Try only 10. It’s simply a trick to get people into the store with the hopes that they’ll buy something else while they are there shopping. But if people are willing to kill one another for a product, then something has to change. It’s simply just not worth it.

Then again, maybe it is to these store owners…

There needs to be a new method for dealing with Black Friday. Whether it be requiring stores to have a minimum quantity available by law, or dumping the stampede model for something a bit more sane.

Honestly, what do you guys think? Is Black Friday worth it?
