Best Buy takes Black Friday to an obscene level

The company has decided that it's not good enough to entice shoppers to begin their Black Friday shopping at midnight, when the turkey is digested and the Wild Turkey is absorbed.

Instead, the doors of your local Best Buy will open at 6 p.m.

A Best Buy spokeswoman told the Associated Press that this is what the American people want: "Last year customers clearly showed that they wanted to be out shopping much earlier on Thanksgiving."

I am not sure whether the American people expressed themselves by lining up at 6 p.m. precisely or whether they inundated Best Buy with a promise to start their own Thanksgiving festivities at 11 a.m.

The disappointing aspect of this is that almost all of the Black Friday deals, really aren't great deals that you can't get any other time of the year.  Shop away America!
