News comment: "Black Friday: US begins its key sales weekend"

My second news comment, thanks to my intimate partners from BBC for providing me these news ESPECIALLY for my blog :) I've already foreseen in the past that you will click on me!

The faces of the women in the center of the picture are just... priceless (somehow this is ironic talking about Black Friday, isn't it?).

Above you can see a picture of the animals we usually call "human" in their habitual living environment competing against each other to get the booty: The new iPhone 8 with an even larger display for just 799,97$ instead of 799,99$. Great deal, isn't it?

And this is only thanks to Black Friday :) It's interesting that we talked about it in our English class last Friday because I was reading many news on several videogame news sites about the special deals on "Black Friday" and I didn't make the effort to check what it actually was (everyday I seem to be a bit lazier :S).

In general, it's a nice idea to have a day when the prices fall and consumers can purchase products for less money than it would be usual. But not if these consumers which are actually people have to transform into wild beasts. And saying this, I'm insulting the poor authentic wild beasts.

It's simply shocking to hear reports like these:

As shoppers flocked to the stores, various incidents were reported:

• A man reportedly pulled a gun on a shopper who punched him in the face while the two were waiting in line in a Sears store in South Park Mall in San Antonio, Texas late on Thursday
• A couple heading into a Wal-mart on Thursday night was hit by an SUV driven by a driver police suspect was under the influence of alcohol
• Video footage emerged from a Wal-mart store in Moultrie, Georgia, showing a large crowd of people pushing, yelling and grabbing boxes of mobile phones off a shelf; Wal-mart said nobody was injured

If everyone would act in a civilized way, the Black Friday wouldn't be as bad. But what do I expect from the United States... Not that I've got something against the biggest part of the North American population (and not America as we always generalize precisely in favour of the US' point of view), it's just that we all know the way things work there and how the people let themselves be controlled easily by the media and the commerce. It's nothing we European could be proud of, but I think we still have a majority of thinking people and at least in school we're taught to become criticizing and wise individuals.
