Don't really understand it. I mean, I believe that businesses should be free to do this and people can do what they want... More Profit for businesses and so on. But I also personally think this shows how rude and desperate many people are! Think I'd rather spend more on stuff than be anyone of these sad, sad people! The things people do for technology and expensive stuff in this country is the kinda stuff people will do for water and shelter in others! The first world just needs to grow up really!
Well, our other foreign policy initiatives to promote democracy haven't amounted to snuff, so might as well try to take over the world by exporting our maniacal greed, envy and gluttony!
It looks like it's not just the Americans then that are into this stuff!
I didn't realize Black Friday was a thing in the UK too!
This is the first year it's happened, meaning 2 countries outside America have really taken to it - The UK, and China (you know that "communist" country that is more like a capitalist one...)
I've heard of it before mind, it was on South Park last year, maybe that's why it took off here? LOL
America... Thanks for giving Britain Rock n' Roll, Malls and budweiser... But you can stick Black Friday up your hairy...! No offense though
Black Friday has always been ridiculously stupid in the US. It is unfortunate that the UK has picked up on it.
You are thanking us for giving you shopping malls and Budweiser?? You must be kidding. Well, thank you for giving us small shops, brewpubs, and craft beers.

No, it hasn't. It's a relatively recent phenomenon. The photos people have been posting aren't believable. Most, if not all of them, are taken from films that are spoofs on the whole concept of bargain shopping. The events in those photos never happened except on a film set.
Somethings people do on Black Friday just makes me speechless. In Los Angeles two adults, a lady and a man, fought over a $5 Barbie doll. The lady socked the man in the face. The man was eventually arrested by the police. I also saw on the news someone trying to grab away a large TV set from a person walking to the register with it. I saw news clips of people being trampled as they laid on the ground at store entrances by herds of people rushing to get inside. How about all those people that are first to get inside the store? They are celebrating as if they just finished running the Boston Marathon. They act like what they did was such a gigantic feat. SMH.

It's a tribute to modern day consumerism. People get into fist fights over $20 dollar savings on a $300 purchase that they don't really need.
How can you have Black Friday in the UK if there is no "Day after Thanksgiving." When do Brits do Black Friday?
