Sigh.........

I'm really getting to despise this country....or at least a lot of the people in it.

Quote:ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - More than 100 sheriff's deputies in riot gear broke up an out-of-control crowd waiting outside a mall to buy a limited edition Nike basketball shoe.

Authorities say there were no injuries or arrests outside the Florida Mall late Thursday. The crowd began getting unruly as hundreds packed the parking lot, waiting to buy the $220, limited-edition shoe that was timed to be released during the NBA All-Star Game in Orlando.

Assholes.

Crass materialism at its finest. I wonder if they'd still pay that much if they knew the shoes were made from probably $10 of materials & labor?

Not even good shoe,s Nike shoes are shit to run in.

Asics are the ones to go for.

There, hundreds just booked their ticket to Hell. Prov. 11:6 - "the treacherous are caught by their own greed"
I wonder how many of them were "true" Christians?

Probably all of them. I'm reminded of all the "Jesus is the reason for the season" shit they spout every November and December here as they go out and put themselves even further in debt to buy people shit they don't need.
