What a better way to spend the holidays then planning a loved ones funeral.   This is what you could be doing if you go out shopping on Black Friday.


Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving when throngs of people cram into every department store willing to open up early and put that years “hot” items on sale.  This event could be one of the most dangerous things an individual can do doing the year, and for what?  To save a few dollars?

Once the store opens the horde of people rush down the isle feeling the rush of seeing if their leaked ads were true.  Last year there were 65 reported deaths caused from the event.  There were over 2340 taken to the hospital and 5430 injured.

My advise to you is to avoid this Black Friday as if it were the Black Plague.  Cyber Monday might not give you quite the rush but at least you will not die, granted you don’t stick your fork into the electrical socket while clicking that hot deal
