One of the many things that the US does that the rest of the world seemingly scratches their heads at is our yearly tradition of “Black Friday”, the day when stores across the country have expanded hours so as to draw in crowds of people for “unbelievable deals”. It often results in multiple injuries and there are even cases where people have tried trying to save, quite literally, just a few bucks.
News stations love showing videos of these savings-obsessed throngs, who often pour into a store like a flash flood, devastating everything in their wake. It’s something that looks a great deal like zombies as they descend upon the living.
I’m not the only one who thinks this. In fact, YouTube user Andrew Kasch had very much the same idea, as evidenced by the fantastic video he edited together that mashes scenes from zombie films with actual Black Friday footage. It’s pretty astonishing how well reality and fiction blend together, often times appearing nearly indistinguishable from each other.
If you went out on Black Friday and braved the long lines, the cold weather, and the risk of being trampled to death or, at the very least, seriously injured in a stampede, tell us what you got! Get any good scores? Did you manage to avoid getting bit?
