Who can find me the craziest picture of Black Friday?
I'm looking for a crazy picture of an insane lineup or a mob rushing for a product or some other black friday type occurrence that is so shocking one can only describe it as crazy :)
The photo does not need to be of black Friday - it just has to represent something about Black Friday in a shocking, funny or crazy way.
Best answer goes to the person who finds the best photo before the weekend!

This is Macy's in downtown New York, right? Coming off of the first floor elevator looking out the front doors?
Did you take this photo, Dustynine?
Sorry, I can't take credit for this one. It's by Lisa Waananen at the source URL - who has a lot of great photos on her website.
Her post says it's from Black Friday at NY's Macy's, 2008.
Should we have a "Staying Safe on Black Friday" page by now?

This is why I never participate in midnight shopping sale, or any crazy sales out there.

This lady opted to use an umberella stroller as her shopping cart and I don't see the baby anywhere in site.
Here's a scenario I came up with...
Anxious shopper arrived at XYZ Department Store only to find that all shopping carts were in use. Being the crafty, determined shopper that she is she quickly retreated to her mom van to retrieve the trusty umberella stroller. It's great for hauling stuff!

The second is a similar stampede in Pasuruan, Indonesia. Again, I don't know when this picture was taken. UPDATE: This incident occurred during Ramadan after a man decided to give out free cash. At least 21 people died. http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/09/16/indonesia.stampede/
Remember the 2008 Wal-Mart stampede that killed one (http://www.nydailynews.com/money/galleries/walmart_stampede_captured_in_pictures/walmart_stampede_captured_in_pictures.html)? This is a photo of the crowd that allegedly caused that death:

Hrmm, as powerful a picture as it is, I really, really doubt the second picture was taken at a shopping event, let alone Black Friday.
In fact, upon further research I found that the picture is from September 2008 in Indonesia when there was a stampede of women trying to collect Ramadan gifts of money from a rich donor. 23 women were killed in the panic to get money.

The first one isn't bad - thanks!
I like how the people are smiling in the first and they don't look like they're in trouble (as in the second).
That's me (above), taking a picture from the bottom of the pile of bodies that didn't make it to the sale.
Yep, the stampede was in 2008.
Here's an actual pic from just before the stampede started at that Wal-Mart store:
Do you think it's really just consumerism? Or is it something more primal? We're like a bunch of prehistoric beasts plucking a dead carcass knowing there isn't enough meat to feed everyone. Of course, this is a little more luxurious and silly.
Didn't that wal-mart stampede happen last year?
My pleasure. :)
Haha. Oh god, that made me laugh early this morning. Thanks @silverhammer!
These are madness, certainly an event I would never have part in. Look at these people, look at their behaviour, this is what consumerism has done to the common folk. GIMME GIMME GIMME
