It is weird that they concentrate on three or four idiots throughout the last 24 hours instead of concentrating on the millions that behaved themselves. So typical of the media and FREEPERS eat it up. Sad!!!

Satire or not, it shows the extremity of materialism in this country, even in times of desperation. When people wait in lines for hours and days to buy TVs, blu-rays and other useless crap instead of doing something useful such as praying for our country....it’s sick!

Anyone who gets up at 4AM to line up to buy Chinese-made junk is an idiot, in my opinion. Whether they behaved themselves or not.

Why does customers fighting to save a buck at Christmas men a better economical outlook.

IMO it means a worse outlook. People who have money won’t fight in these crowds for a cheap gift.

With each passing day we look more and more like a street scene from Soylent Green. Total societal meltdown seems imminent.

1. I’m not Andy Borowitz.
2. I don’t work for Andy Borowitz.
3. I was not aware that the Borowitz Report is a blog. It looks like a regular website to me.

I agree. The combination of amorality, entitlement mentality, and the bad economy are reaching a boiling point as evidenced by some of the insane things that occurred today. When the welfare checks don’t go out, or get cut one day in the future, the zombie hordes will take to the street to “take what they’s owed” (sic).

On second thought, maybe armored garbage trucks scooping people up off the streets of Los Angeles for processing isn’t such a bad thing.

Aw, c’mon. The article was short, sweet, to the point and rather amusing.

Give “EveningStar” a break.

At least the article gave me a chuckle. With Obama, Congress, the MSM, elitests, OWS protesters and every other jerk-off running this nation into the ground, it’s refreshing to have something to laugh at for a change.

JMO.

Exactly! Don’t go blaming Christmas shopping for these peoples’ behavior. These are the same types that blow each other away at weddings, birthdays, funerals....It has nothing to do with Christmas shopping.
