WALMART CLEARED IN STORE DEATH
Last November a Walmart employee in New York was trampled to death by frenzied shoppers on the day after Thanksgiving (no joke). The results of a six-month investigation of the fatal accident were announced on Saturday, with police detectives concluding that a "Buy-One, Get-One-Free" sale on 75-inch plasma TVs generated a "perfect storm" of customer mania that storeworkers were powerless to control. "It was just one of those things," claimed police spokesman Patrick Tisdale. "It wasn't anybody's fault. How often in life do you get a chance to legally snatch up a free plasma TV? The employee tried to get out of the way, but slipped on an open bag of Gummi Bears that had fallen on the floor. Sometimes, people die and you simply have to shake your head and move on."
