Jesus Christ. I don't know what else to say about the above video, in which Black Friday shoppers act like feral dogs in order to get their filthy hands on a bunch of Xbox 360 consoles. No, scratch that, feral dogs have slightly more self-respect.
They say a person is three hot meals away from turning into an animal, but whoever observed that overestimated society. It only really takes one cheap electronic product.
Nonsense like this, and that Walmart trampling, make me laugh bitterly. It is my theory that the majority of humankind has been unable to cope with the speed of our evolution and can't catch up with our perceived maturity. I am continually proven right.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Please :(
I wonder if any of those people even wanted the product? Some people are addicted to bargains, oh the sweet irony.
Where people fight over the last 360 that will probably RRoD in a month anyway. And where a man was trampled to death because some asshole wanted a HDTV they probably still couldn't afford anyway.
On a lighter note, two douchenuggets brought guns to a California Toys R Us on Black Friday. Luckily, they only killed each other. Hopefully they removed themselves from they gene pool before they had kids. I would have to see that type of stupidity procreate.
I saw people lined up at 6pm Thursday at Best Buy...
Merry Christmas motherfuckers.

It was funny though some lady in the store tried to start a fight with my fiance so I started yelling at her. The entire time she had herself thrown over her shopping cart. I guess her Xbox 360 Arcade and 5 mega pixel camera were worth more than everything.
At least I got Dead Space for free. The damn cashier forgot to ring it up and I felt like I didn't have to correct her mistake :)
This just adds to my list of reasons why I'm all for thinning the herd.
Exactly how it should be done at every store. But all wal-mart fucking cares about is money, and the amount of extra effort and money they would have to spend to do what best buy does apparently is just to much for them to spend, they would rather deal with mobs of assholes breaking down doors and trampling woman and children.
The sad thing about the guy who was trampled is that the store wasn't even open, the shoppers broke the door down and ran amuk like lunatics.
I walked into Best Buy, picked it out, paid at the front counter, and left. Fuck the savings, that was the easiest purchase ever. Couldn't have been an easier process.
My family never shops on Black Friday, and somehow I still get what I asked for on Xmas Day.
Fucking lunatics.
Makes us midnight launch geeks seem downright "holy".
Yes, people are pathetic sometimes.
