I only heard about the existence of Black Friday a few days ago, I didn't realise it was some sort of institution of American life. Surely there are big sales after every holiday, in which no-one goes crazy?

For goodness sake, though, trampled to death? I thought that was a sad and ridiculous thing to happen at a 90s boyband concert, never mind a fucking supermarket sale.

Yeah, every year they have some footage of frenzied shoppers stampeding Wal*Mart, beating each other up over Tickle Me Elmo, etc. It's awful.

Glad to know SOME places are sane.
