It's not just Fox airing this. Besides, Fox didn't really have to embellish anything:

New Nike Air Jordan XI Concord Causes Shopping Frenzy In Indianapolis - YouTube

This chaos happened in cities all over the US. Sad.

attainable, exclusivity. that is all. People have a chance to get something that not alot of people have. This is not something that only happens in lakewood, but this is what a majority Americans feed off of. Keeping up with the Jones's (sp)

as for how people speak while on regional television, First they had all young people, kids, on the interviews. All kids do silly things at times. I know there were a few adults out there (adults being 25&up), but the majority kids. Which is why it gets a little chaotic. Not too mention, that the store only has a limited number, (Marketing), just makes it worse. Shoe stores could take note from apple or gamestop, and have people preorder them, it would tone things down alot.

Regardless, everyone has their vice, for these kids and shoe connoisseurs, its just happens to be shoes and the exclusivity of having something that others do not.

I wonder do they put as much effort into their school work(i'm guessing no) as they do getting a pair of Jordan's( micheal Jordan and Nike are laughing all the way to the bank) that nobody over the age of 25 cares about.

The man licked his shoe. He licked the shoe. I wonder if he feels "cool".

If your over the age of 25, hell if your over the age of 18 and your standing in a line in the cold to get some Jordan's you're a loser and need to get a life. We used to do that back in high school, leave school early to go get the Jordan's. But that was HIGH SCHOOL! I'm a grown man now, ain't no way hell I'm going to be standing in line for no damn Jordan's.

LOL! You must be in that 25 & older club? I'm under 25 and still wouldn't stand in line for those hideous shoes.
