للي يبي يساعدهم يا انه يشتري 100 ستيكر ب10دولار او انه ينزلها ويطبعها من عنده لان هدفهم مو مادي المهم اللي استغربته
لقيت 2 اشتروا الستكرات وراحوا Walmart Target Best Buy وFYE علشان يلصقون الستكرات على السيديات :09: وسوها فعلا ومعهم كاميرا بعد تفضلوا:
9:34AM
So on the "biggest" (apocryphal), most hellish shopping day of the year, we set our alarm clocks and at 9 AM plunged right into the belly of the beast:

Walmart is the world's largest seller of CDs. They are the guardians of our shared musical heritage.
9:51AM

This picture reveals two things:
a) being in Walmart at 9:30am the day after Thanksgiving does not make us happy.
b) our digital camera is crappy and we needed a better one. Walmart is perfect for this because they have a 0% restocking fee and a 90-day return policy (89 days more than we needed). We got an HP435, which was a mistake-- it comes with a tiny amount of storage and the pictures suck. Still, it was slightly better than what we had. Onward!
10:02AM
We went outside, put the batteries in the camera, and fired it up.

We've got 2,000 of these lil' buddies!

Alright, back into Walmart, over to the music section, and down to business.
10:18AM

We like how J-Lo is right next to Korn. Jenny from the block, Snakes and ladders, whatever. To Walmart and the record companies, it's just $16 chunks of plastic and paper that some people somewhere are still unable to download for free.
10:39AM
Our next target, Target:

At Target we just gave up on being even slightly sneaky. The CD aisles were always empty anyway (and this on the busiest day of the year) so we just got into our stickering groove.

CDs at the checkout? Come on, don't do it... you'll be happier with a tabloid, or some candy. Anyway, so long Target.
11:43AM
Next stop, Best Buy. Oh yeah, and if we weren't obvious enough already, Nick starts rocking a sticker on his hat:

Say what you want about Best Buy, on the Day After Thanksgiving they give out free cotton candy. We'll happily repay their 1 cent of sugar with some informative labeling that they'll really, really appreciate.

Once again, after elbowing our way through the DVD and video games section, we find ourselves in the tranquil, deserted aisles of CDs, and get to work. Metallica display, you get it first, and with good reason.

The quietest, loneliest store in the mall...

Back to Walmart to return the lousy camera. Thanks for the loaner, guys!
