Default A Very Sad Day for Humanity... I mean...Americans

This isn't just about the patheticism of people quitting their jobs to wait in line for a PlayStation 3...but moreover about the absolutely inhumane things that happened at PS3 lines all across the USA Friday morning...

1. 60 people and only 10 PS3's to sell. Wal-mart decides to setup 10 chairs and have all 60 of the people sprint and the 10 that get in the chairs get the PS3 systems. Well, they take off from the starting line and one guy pushes another guy into a pole and dislocates his jaw:

2. Nerds become unruly and get angry at a store in California when they are told they can't wait inside the store for their PS3 systems. Police are called. The Wal-mart is shut down temporarily:

3. People shot at while waiting in line for PS3's in Kentucky:

4. Those waiting in line robbed at gunpoint:

5. A pregnant woman purposefully ignores her contractions to get a PS3:

6. An entire supply of PlayStation 3's stolen:

7. Cars broken into while people wait in line:

8. A man was shot in CT in line.

There are more stories, I am sure. This is so sickening. I am glad it is only a small minority...I think
