Question: Are the sales on Black Friday just one-day sales, or do they carry on past that day? Why the rush?
THIS IS WHY THE TERRORISTS HATE US! (Also that fat white guy should know that laying down in front of a mob of caffeinated shoppers is a bad idea.)

Is it just me, or does she clearly say “Crazed, black, Friday shoppers piled up on each other…” at the ten second mark?
