    quote:

    A woman was arrested today for stabbing to death three shoppers at a Chicago-area Wal-Mart in order to secure the store's last X-Box One.

    Mary Robbins, a married mother of two, reportedly wrestled her competitors to the ground before fatally wounding them with a sharpened Phillips head screwdriver.

    The victim's names have not yet been released, but are said to include a sociology student at Northwestern University, a chemistry teacher at at local high school and a young pregnant woman buying a system for her brother.


If that isn't enough to shake your head, there's more...
    quote:

    "Of course I'd do it all over again," Robbins proclaimed from a Cook County jail cell. "My little Dustin is going to have an X-Box for Christmas this year. No one can take that away from him. Not even the police.

    "Shopping isn't a hobby for me, it's a war. So I have to spend a little time behind bars. So what? I didn't punk out. I fought hard for my family, and I'm proud of that."


So, apparently, it's more important for a kid to have an XBox for Christmas than it is to have your Mother at home with you.

And her "little time behind bars?" 3 Murders only going to get you a "little" time?

This makes me sick.

I think this is the best quote from that article:

"A witness says an old lady beat a kid with her purse in order to get the last toothbrush holder.

I don’t even have real teeth anymore and have no need for such an item but it was over 35 percent off. I might be old but I’m not dumb, of course I will take advantage of that deal, says 88-year-old Margaret Robinson."

Well, if you don't need a particular thing and it's 35% off, by all means beat someone up for it....who would blame you?

(Just remember; Xboxes don't kill people, people with no Xboxes kill people).

I'll try to remember that if I ever come across a deal on tampons.

Alas, this strongly underscores that people don't consider the source or validity of information, but just repeat it.

But the deals just aren't there anymore and I don't think they will be coming back.
