It's a little sad, but also over hyped from what I can see. Hundreds of people waiting in a parking lot for a shoe to go on sale. Police are called to break up the crowd. No tear gas, no beatings - it doesn't look like it lives up to the hype as far as melees go, but still:

How can people get so worked up over a bit of footwear? Are a bunch of the people there because they know they can get way more than they buy the shoe for if they flip them on-line? Are the police just overly anxious these days when a crowd of people gather? And if people are willing to go this far over a shoe, why won't they do anything to get their country back?
 
Nerds do the same thing when a new video game or console is released. Except Nerds wait until they get home the next day with the new game to play pretend melee with others.

Not sure which is worse.

EDIT: Which reminds me of:

Whoa!!! You are WAY out of line, dude. Tech stuff is completely different - like, for one: it's k00l!!1!

(but not cool enough to wait in line for - or to buy, most of the time)

TV is their god. TV tells them to desire Mega-Corporation branded products. These sheep believe everything their God (TV) tells them. This sort of brainwashing distracts them from the loss of freedom and liberty on the way back to serfdom. This is the liberal/progressive utopia. *
