(NEWSER) – Sure, Black Friday isn't for another week, but it's tough to resist the siren call of cheap TVs... A Florida woman and three other families pitched tents in front of a Best Buy in St. Petersburg on Wednesday—yep, 9 days before the big day—and the eager shopper sounds not unlike an ad for the superstore: "You can't beat some of the deals they have on plasmas, flat screens, and laptops. You get to buy it in large quantities,” Christine Orta tells the

local NBC affiliate. "We're all students; you've got to pinch a penny; it's affordable right now." But, the Consumerist wonders, how much is she paying to live there for nine days? (Here's the big question: Would you get in line now forthese "insane" deals?)

Occupy Best Buy?

when attending one of these 'festivals' a year or so ago at uncle wally(waiting for some rare jazz reissues for which there is herdly passion), word spread that police had been called to intervene in firearmladen 'discussions' at the next door bestbuy.

Maybe she thought she was in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Call me Scrooge if you will, but this is exactly the sort of behavior that makes the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas is my least favorite time of the year. The whole scene is a study in avarice. Buy, buy, buy. Give, give, give. Get, get, get. IMO, among the worst elements of human nature. I'm not sure how it got so far out of hand, but out of hand it is and I'll have as little of it as possible. Don't get me wrong, I very much enjoy the familial aspects of the season, especially during Thanksgiving which, as yet, the retailers have been unable to co-opt. It's the other elements that turn me off. Way off.

Couldn't agree more with Dave.

I like giving, and I like getting (within basic familial & friendly parameters). Shopping is not fun, though, and battling people for whom it is a lifestyle definitely is not.

So...gotta love the internet!

The big retailers are doing their best to ruin Thanksgiving too. Wal-mart and a couple of others are now opening ON Thanksgiving, even if it is at 10:00 PM
