Reason You Should Stay Home Reading Mediaite: Terrifying Black Friday Footage

video
» 40 comments

Alright, let’s break it down here. Y’know, shoot straight and talk honestly. There probably isn’t going to be any big news today. As much as it frequently seems otherwise, media folk are people too and all of them except for the unluckiest interns, the perpetually single, or the foreigners are at home today relaxing while content that was put together days ago fills the TV screens and web pages. Seriously, there’s a reason the New York Times is running a two page profile of Mitt Romney’s barber (Weirdest part? It’s actually pretty good). However, that does not mean you should step away from your computer screen. Definitely not! No, if you leave the warm glow of the Mediaite homepage, even for a second, you will be terrorized by insane shoppers. Don’t believe us? Watch this footage…

The video in question is from the Twitter user @HurrAKAneCam19 who early this morning (very early) tweeted that her sister “almost lost her life for a $2 waffle maker!” Some may not realize the seriousness of that statement. Despite HurrAKAne L’ing her A off, things really were crazy in the Walmart she was in and she proved it by filming some footage of the madness those waffle makers caused. The video was so disturbing, it soon was making its way up Reddit where it caught our eyes.

Watch below and remember that nothing like this will ever happen to you when you’re safe at home, reading Mediaite’s wonderful content, and continuing to give us traffic on this slow holiday weekend.

    I thought it was footage of a GOP tea bagger gathering.  They look like white trash red necks and that is what comprises the tea bagger movement in the GOP.

    From someone who lives outside your boarders I have to say it’s really funny (sick actually) how you guys think that your team or inside is so morally superior to the other. Plenty of mental illness on both sides it seems. An empire in decline is fasinating to watch from a safe distance. Enjoy your holiday season , best wishes from me.

  • Geester

    Hey Johnny that was ment as new comment not so much a reply to you..To each his own…cheers

  • hatessnark

    do you really mean BOARDERS, which would be people who rent your rooms or ski/skate on boards,  or do you mean BORDERS with are the edges of countries or states.  And this is a video of trashy red neck America, the very segment of our population that is speeding up the decline.

  • Geester

    OUCH, I made a spelling error, thanx for pointing that out. Are they only “red necks”?  Red necks at Victoria’s Secrets, because their rioting for yoga pants there too,  

  • Geester

    please allow me to call myself an idiot for you as  I meant meant not ment.

    That little honey in the blue t-shirt didn’t even take the time to pull up her pants. Her pants kept sliding further and further down. That’s when I stopped watching. Holy crap people. Pull it together!

    Why not read Mediaite’s articles on a mobile or tablet while queuing? Then you can get pepper sprayed in the face both intellectually and physically in a very short space of time.

    somebody mention borders book store? Yeah too bad they went out of business. I used to like their deli section.  On hot days borders was a good place to hang out. They had air conditioning.

    Waffles are good. I like ‘em with the blueberry mix. I like to open a box of frozen strawberries and put them on top. Maybe some whipped cream on top of that.

    Do you have to work at it to be this stupid, or do you come by it natural?

    Funny how we humans strut about imagining ourselves as far superior in character, intrinsic value, intelligence & logic than all other NON-human creatures, & yet, watching this chaotic, crass, self-centered, classless display of human behaviors here only puts me in mind of a mass of brutal, inconsiderate, greedy, conscienceless tree monkeys fighting viciously over a little patch of huckleberries.
    Sometimes I’m truly ashamed of being a human being. Especially when i see such primitive repulsive brazen & ugly manners as is so widespread in our nation, the very day after one of the most beautiful & bonding holidays that we observe & hold dear. Shame upon those who shamelessly treat others so hideously & selfishly on Black Friday.

    Remember this: Your attitude & manners toward others always reflects on your mother, father, grandparent(s), or whoever raised you, & shouts out, “MY Mother SUCKED at raising me!”, every time your behavior is ugly, nasty & thoughtless.

    Clean it up, beastly barbarians who disrespect others & shove them out of your way, curse them, or treat them with contempt!

    It takes a HELLUVA lot more strength & character to be kind & considerate & treat others with deference & consideration even when you don’t feel like it, than to give in to the MUCH easier but weak-willed temptation to be rude & careless & mean toward others.

    After they throw a punch they wish the same person a Merry Christmas.  Go figure. Figuratively speaking of course. .

    Do you suppose any of these shoppers complained because there was no “Merry Christmas” sign over the waffle irons?
