No. 8: Video countdown to Black Friday 2009

Black Friday, or the day after Thanksgiving and the beginning of the traditional holiday shopping season, is around the corner. Can't get into the gift-giving mood?

Don't fret.

Consumer United Advocate plans to unveil its favorite Black Friday video clips to shock you into the spirit.

For clip No. 8, crowds are pushing and shoving to get into this Circuit City in Delaware back in 2007. It's amazing how fast things have changed. In 2008, the cash-strapped Circuit City has voluntarily filed for Chapter 11.
