Want a federally mandated holiday off? Too bad! Even requesting a day off between November 15 and January 1st isn't allowed in some stores. Not that it matters, because over half of consumers will be shopping online, so all these draconian slave-labor policies are moot. And the biggest horse-shit justification for all of this? Walmart thinks they're doing you a favor, like airlines and gas stations.

Speaking of airlines, good news: their profits are up because of ancillary revenue*. To the tune of $20.4 billion dollars.

*Good news is strictly for the airlines, and not ass-hammered consumers.

For some reason, there's an incredibly detailed list of snake bite fatalities in the US. Specifically the preacher and his son who died while performing the miracle of mishandling a snake.

And here's the Black Friday Death Count scoreboard. Let's hope it hits 7 billion this year!

And finally, here are the bullshit songs Dick commissioned from someone just to gloat. I wasn't sure what the titles of these songs were, so I named them myself: 1. Dick's an asshole - douche guitar mix 2. Dick is a jerk store that's open 24-hours a day that sells nothing but jerks, i.e., himself.
