This is really stupid. How many hours do parents have to work to provide the latest trendy game to their children? It's so predictable that these companies release this stuff right at Christmas time because they know the little sheeple will get up before dawn, stand in long lines for (purposely) limited supplies, fight with each other (and I even heard this morning, someone got shot standing in line for one of these). STUPID!
Does anyone remember the same crap for Teddy Ruxpin & all the other hot toys in the past? Wouldn't it be a far more valuable lesson for children to take that same money & do something good for someone less fortunate?
WHAT ABOUT MEEEeeeee?!!!!
I have an aunt who told me of getting into a snatching fight with another woman over some doll that was popular back in the mid-60's, so this is nothing new.
I guess the short supply of these things around Christmas, followed by the ensuing violence generates free publicity.
It is NO accident that there is always a limited supply before Christmas.
Heck, just think of the yearly fights as some stores open for their Christmas sales. It's crazy.
But then, I can think of no better way to honor the birth of Jesus than raining blows down upon the man or woman who tried to grab the sale item I was going after.
