Black Friday 2010 starts with a bang

Neither rain nor snow could keep throngs of determined bargain hunters from hitting stores nationwide at the stroke of midnight on Black Friday, one of the biggest sales days of the year.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, typically marks the start of the annual holiday gift-buying marathon. This year, retailers are eager to rev up their holiday sales as soon as possible to make up for the past two lackluster holiday seasons.

    @Rumrunner. You're a scam. I'm a scam. Our sun is a scam. The Milky Way is a scam. The whole universe is a scam. The Big Bang Theory is a scam. Jupiter's rings are a scam. The internet is a scam. Pluto never was a planet, that was a scam.

    Ho hum. Another unique American spectacle. Spain has their Bull Run, and we've got Black Friday. Reports of shoppers pushing, shoving, wrestling, biting...all over saving a few bucks. Those not injured go right on shopping, willing to risk it. It's a carnival. Freak show even.
