Ah, the holidays. Today is a great day to kick back, enjoy the South Florida weather and eat a nice leftover turkey sandwich. But not for some losers, who interrupted their Thanksgiving night to stand in line for several hours at Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Brandsmart so they could get the deals.
The Herald covered this story extensively this morning, and this was the passage that enraged me as I sipped my morning coffee:
“At Brandsmart’s loading area, Sean Michaloski watched as workers crammed two giant TVs and a home theater system into his Toyota Camry.
”This is Christmas for me,” Michaloski said. “Christmas isn’t the same without all this stuff.”
Miami, make your New Year’s Resolution Count!
We’re $16,000 away from our End-of-Year campaign goal, with just a five days left! We’re ready to deliver — but we need the resources to do it right. If Miami New Times matters to you, please contribute today to help us expand our current events coverage when it’s needed most.
Hunh. I thought Christmas was about the baby Jesus and all that stuff. But whatever. Jesus would have wanted us to have a home theater system!
For those who are disgusted by Black Friday and all of its excesses, consider celebrating Buy Nothing Day today. —Tamara Lush
