Tis the Season: Walmart sale of $30 DVD players causes stampede
[Archived in Combination Dvd Vcr Player, Dvd Vcr, Entry]
Tim Lauer on 2003/12/01:
„Ok, so $30 is a really good price for a DVD/VCR combination player, but is it worth nearly crushing another human being to death just to get one? Apparently so:A stampede of shoppers left a woman seriously hurt this morning. She was trampled by a crowd of bargain hunters at a Central Florida Walmart.“

„I really hate him - he masterminded those absolutely absymal 'Best of Monty Python' videos, decided that the Blackadder DVDs shouldn't have extras on (even though assorted footage and rushes were offered to him specifically for use as DVD extras), allowed that shocking Young Ones series 2 release to go out, had the People Like Us series 1 extras REMOVED even after they had been produced etc etc et bloody cetera.“http://www.ganymede-titan.info/news/2003/october/ ians_newsround_241003.html - Cached
