Holiday Madness


I need to know: someone please explain to me...what exactly is Circuit City selling that it is necessary to sleep outside of their doors all night long to be the first inside? Is it crack? Is the Circuit City on 5th Avenue and 44th Street a cover for a drug den? Because at least then I would sort of understand the human need to stand in 20-something degree weather for hours, if not overnight to get inside.

Is PSP that cool? Are they selling it in there at a 35% discount, as opposed to the 30% discount elsewhere? Don't you people have jobs to go to?? Lives? HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE FRIGGIN INTERNETS?

The irony in these holiday "madness" early-bird sales is that the people who wait in line for 14 hours on end for these deep-discounts are stretching pennies to be able to afford the stupid electronics anyway. Wouldn't time be better served looking for a job that pays more? Or maybe looking for a job at all?? Your kids don't need any more stupid video game consoles. You don't NEED a 50" plasma. Heck, you don't even have a wall in your apartment that's 50" wide; where the hell do you plan on putting that thing?? And now that you have stood out in the cold for the last 14 hours, you have gotten sick, because you didn't have the smarts to stand in line for something important like a warm winter coat; so now you will take your uninsured self to one of the city's many emergency rooms to get treated. And ring around the stupid rosy we go...

Ette2 personally has done all of her holiday shopping on the good ole' Internets...with a little resourcefulness, anything can be found. Sure, it might not be authentic, but authenticity is overrated anyway (except with handbags). So what if your PSP ends up being a PSB. He'll never know the difference. Just give it to him while wearing nothing but lingerie...I can assure you he'll be so distracted he'll never notice.

The only ways you would get Ette2 to wait in a line like that would be:
  1. If Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen had a love child and said child was deemed genius from birth and was (at 3 years old) weaving garments on a loom inside; the first 20 people get haute couture pieces made for FREE.
  2. If Brad and Angelina were interviewing for threesome girlfriends.
  3. If they announced that everyone with blue eyes would earn an opportunity to rule the world for one hour.
  4. If George Bush were tied up inside and the first 20 people could throw rocks at his head.
