Camping Out at Best Buy for Black Friday

My family was on the way home from Thanksgiving dinner, and we passed Best Buy. We saw a ton of people lined up outside in tents and what not, so I decided to go back with a video camera and see what I could find. I'm not very good at walking up to strangers and conducting witty interviews, but don't worry - I edited most of the awkward silence out.

If you're watching this before 5:00 AM on Friday the 23rd (Central), then these people are all still probably there waiting in line.

I was at Best Buy in Orlando Wednesday and saw people camped out. I immediately thought they were being paid by Best Buy as their presence every year seems to make shopping there extremely urgent.

Fucking idiots! The money they save is spent on the camping in shitty conditions.

Don't let someone shoot you at your tent or your family! This seems unsafe!

[valdivia562]

Isn't this dangerous cause someone could go in your tent and rape your wife and kids?

Thousands are camping 4 black ops

[apheus27]

It's not. I've camped out now for 3 straight years, and I've saved an accumulative $1400. So essentially that is the equivalent to me getting paid $1400 for 30 hours of my time.
