Oh Black Friday, the annual holiday where those of us who didn't strike out after Thanksgiving dinner to sleep on mall sidewalks so we could be first in line for those "one day only" deals traditionally like to gather around the evening news broadcast to watch footage of people pepper spraying each other to get first dibs on the hot sale items at Walmart.
