Attention frustrated Black Friday shoppers who can never grab that hot product: Wal-Mart is hoping to relieve some of that anxiety.
The world’s largest retailer is throwing its doors open at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, two hours earlier than a year ago. It’s also guaranteeing shoppers that it will have three of the most popular items it sells if they line up inside the store during a one-hour event that day.
Those who are lined up inside the store between 10 p.m and 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving will be able to purchase the following items: an Apple iPad 2 with Wi-Fi for $399 plus a $74 Wal-Mart gift card; an Emerson 32-inch LCD TV for $148, down from the original $228; and an LG Blu-ray Disc player for $38, about half off the original price.

who in the hell has money for all that crap?
Just watch the EBT cards fly out of purses!
Makes as much sence as Christmas stuff out at Holloween.
Unless my math is all screwed up the crowd will be worse than ever.The full focus will be on Wal Mart and none of the other stores.
I am staying home and enjoying my family because that's what is important to me. It's sickening how the retailers are trying so hard to get people to run out and spend on Thanksgiving now.
I refuse to go shopping on Thanksgiving. I am staying home and counting my blessings. I don't like how they have turned Thanksgiving in day to shop for bargains.
I would love to see a complete boycott of Walmart's Thursday plan.
i will be there and i got the $$$$$$$. jealous and envy people on here...
