Book Bag: Tinsel Unwraps America's Christmas Craze
Today's Black Friday, the day Americans put on their traditional crazy hats and go wild for good deals. I'm not sure if you remember, but last year a Wal-Mart worker died under a stampede of 2,000 discount hungry shoppers. There has to be some kind of explanation for this holiday craze.
Family Demands Wal-Mart Pay For Death of Employee — Fair?
The family of the Wal-Mart worker killed by a stampede of shoppers has filed a wrongful death lawsuit, claiming that Wal-Mart "created an atmosphere of competition and anxiety" that led to "crowd craze." Considering that a young man died in the Black Friday frenzy, that much seems true —but should Wal-Mart have to pay for that death?
The family thinks so, and in the lawsuit they argue that Wal-Mart "engaged in specific marketing and advertising techniques to specifically attract a large crowd and create an environment of frenzy and mayhem and was otherwise careless, reckless and negligent."
Did the US Wait Until After Black Friday to Declare Recession?
Yesterday the National Bureau of Economic Research, the official recession party starter, announced the recession was well underway and has been since December 2007. Taking a year to make it official may have caused national exasperation, but waiting until the weekend after its Friday meeting may have saved Black Friday. Bless us all!
Wal-Mart Worker Dies on a Very Black Friday
A 34-year-old temporary holiday worker died under a stampede of 2,000 discount hungry Wal-Mart shoppers yesterday. Witnesses described crowds at the Long Island, NY, Wal-Mart as savages; shoppers busted down doors and cut each other in line. Other shoppers, including a pregnant woman, were rushed to the hospital.
