Best Buy Black Friday Store Campers

Having heard rumors about people parking outside of Best Buy looking for deals; I drove by one on the way home and saw the scariest thing ever. There -were- people lined outside the store, all the way around the store. I could see three sides of the store from my driveby and there were people camping on each side in a somewhat orderly line.

It was a crazy sight for the few dollars they will be saving. Is $100 off a TV really worth this much effort? I guess Thanksgiving is no longer about spending time with family; but more about the next day and getting a deal on a new TV or Wii. Retailers seem to be focusing more on Thanksgiving day as their sale day, much like movies release movies on Christmas Day, knowing that families want to get away from each other.

During the drive-by, we snapped a photo of the people sitting there. The picture sucks, but none of the people looked too pleased about being photographed looking like morons on Thanksgiving evening:
