Black Friday Brawl for it All

For the life of me, I will never understand the thrill of Black Friday shopping. Maybe I should research the genesis of Black Friday madness. Whoever came up with this concept should be both saluted for brilliance and cursed for the madness created as a result of this shopping holiday.

I thought of this as a New York Daily News article popped up in front of me on a social media channel. The article details fighting, wrestling and other foolishness as fools be fools. Whether it's toys, clothes, Air Jordans, video games, or whatever -- fools spending money they likely don't really have is epidemic.

My first memory of shopping foolishness was way back in the mid-1980s when people were losing their minds over purchasing Cabbage Patch Kids dolls.


Yeah, interesting memories. It probably doesn't feel quite as good to look at it 30 years later.

Skip Black Friday. Shop with sense and avoid fighting over toys and other items. It's really not that important, folks.
