Wal-Mart: come for the cheap laptop, stay for the beatdown. :hehehmm:



Things got out of hand at a Wal-Mart store in Orlando, Florida, where a man who allegedly cut in line to get a discounted laptop computer was wrestled to the ground, according to a video shown by an ABC affiliate, WFTV-TV.

The store's manager referred questions to Wal-Mart Stores Inc. headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, where officials had no immediate comment.

Why, oh, why do these people do this stuff?

I'm GLAD I stayed home. I don't care how many "great deals" there are. It's not worth broken bones for me.

Stupid people are everywhere....

It was not like that everywhere... however of course, you are mostly gonna hear about the "worst" in people.... versus hearing how everything went smoothly...

But hey... if you stay home, that means there's more room for someone else to shop in. :heh: :thumb:

I went to K-mart and took advantage of the JOE BOXER BOGO pj's and slippers. Ever since my kids were small, they always got new pj's and slippers to open right after dinner on Christmas eve..Even now that they are grown they still look forward to their classic Christmas Gift from mom. :)

Wish they did it now. Not just at Walmart, but everywhere.

Cop: You there! Stop hitting that man!
Man: But sir, he cut in line!
Cop: Oh... would you like to borrow my nightstick?

No, just an HP. :deal:
I'd rather have the DOS laptop than an HP one; you can always replace the OS but you can't replace crappy hardware. :hihi:
