Thanksgiving is a day of gratitude and reflection in America. But once dinner is done, it's game on at the shopping malls.
A greedy female shopper at Wal-Mart went all John Pike on her fellow shoppers so she could get at the consumer goods at half price: She pepper sprayed others in Porter Ranch (Los Angeles) to get "Black Friday" off to an electrifying start as American consumers splurge their way into further debt. Few are aware that they are being "brandwashed." Fewer seem concerned that their jobs, economy, and currency are on the skids. Paper or plastic? Plastic, plastic, plastic...and a little mace.
