R U Kidding?

3:19- okay, i understand that people like to buy things and it is not my place to judge people for what they buy. That said I was on Facebook today when I noticed a news article that CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) had posted on their Facebook page (CBCnewsFacebook) the story was about riots (yes, i said riots) over a pair of Nike shoes. I mean come on people ( and by people i mean Americans...no offence)where are your priorities? For crying out loud the police had to be called. After reading it I immediately "shared it" so everyone else could see this ridiculousness. I mean how sad is it that we live in society that will RIOT over a pair of shoes but do nothing about the child labourers who made the shoes? I will tell you that it is very sad, very sad indeed. Words can not express how much this pisses me off and shame on Nike for building up the hype around these shoes ( which in my opinion if you have any self-respect would not be caught dead wearing unless you play basketball on the moon). People need to learn self-control and not freak out if they don't get a pair of shoes, I'm sure there are children in third world countries who would love your ratty old shoes. To think people looked down on Canadians after the riot in Vancouver after the Stanley Cup, it is just a hockey game and everyone who participated in the destruction of the city certainly deserves to be held criminally responsible but Americans riot over everything material (Black Friday, Boxing day, whenever Nike releases a "new" shoe that costs $200) and lets not forget the women who pepper sprayed fellow shoppers on Black Friday 2011. Just Google anyone of these things and see how crazy people get.
