10 Reasons why Black Friday is the Real Life Hunger Games


Black Friday is the new Hunger Games when you think about it. The crazy shopping spree has fooled millions and sad part is folks continue to fall for this 'Tournament of the Poors'.

Here's a fact for you: if you wait until new year's day, the prices fall even more.

But, anywho, here are my reasons:
  1. The companies, like the Capitol, has fooled folks into thinking they are doing something good.
  2. Shoppers are reduced to their primal states to get that deal (Like Cato and Clove)
  3. The ads and commercials push the sales just like Caesar Flickerman.
  4. Folks who camp outside the stores are basically volunteering for tribute.
  5. The stores become the arena.
  6. The rich are just like the folks in the Capitol, they don't have, or need to participate.
  7. Like the Hunger Games, Black Friday happens every year.
  8. And just like the competitors, the shoppers think they are getting a deal of their lives.
  9. People have died in both arenas.
  10. Thanks to Youtube, these 'games' are televised.

It makes perfect sense.

And yet I can get great deals on higher quality stuff by staying home and going online.
