Black Friday shoppers tend to be ignorant sheep

  Today is the busiest shopping day of the year. This is the day when retailers have their 'biggest' sales of the year and offer their 'biggest' deals. Most of the big name stores, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target, etc. all feature about 10 different headlining deals that cause holiday shoppers to flock to their stores. Usually, the special deals are offered in limited quantities and the best deals sell out within minutes.
  So, if this is the case, what are customers shopping for, say, a few hours after a store is open? The best deals are gone (although shoppers are hopeful something fell through the cracks).
  What else is there besides a stores other everyday wares?
  The answer, basically, is crap. Merchandise that a buyer purchases, probably very cheaply, and tries to turn a big profit from. Yes, these 'special purchases' are offered at a 'discounted' price. But why would a person who lives in an urban city in the south need camouflaged, fuzzy sleep pants? What kind of gift says 'I love you!' like a piggy bank with Christmas trees painted on the poor pigs side?
  Which brings me to my point: Black Friday shoppers are ignorant sheep.
  Unless a person is actually willing to camp out a stores front doors hours before the store opens, odds are they're not going to get what the intended to purchase. So why not go home and eat leftover turkey?
  Why? Because people will shop and spend money because America tells them that they need to shop and spend money. Followers. Sheep.
  If people would be more patient to buy that perfect Christmas present, they'll find that stores offer equally special deals leading up to Christmas. Instead of having ten different special deals during a sale, a store will offer two or three at a time and spread that out over the course of the four weeks between Christmas and Thanksgiving.
  So, be patient, you'll get your deal.

• Black Friday is no longer a single day of discounts, but rather a month-long extravaganza of consumerist frenzy.
