Shoppers stand in huge lines in the middle of the night in the middle of the winter. Still three hours till opening time and they're twisted around the building and down the street. Newly arriving shoppers try to convince themselves there will still be one more plasma TV by the time they get inside.
Thirty minutes to go. The crowd grows anxious. Talk of assaulting the store disseminates among the crowd. Cooler heads prevail for now.
The doors open. The stampede begins.
Five injured. One trampled to death. Better than last year.
It was worth it, because you saved twenty bucks.
