Only in America do we spend a day giving thanks for what we already have, only to trample each other exactly one day later to buy new things.  With each year, it only gets worse.  Can you believe Americans are camping out a week in advance to buy flat screen TVs?  Can you believe Black Friday actually begins Thursday at 6pm (on Thanksgiving night!) this year?Patrick finds himself stuck in a surreal tableau of the American nightmare, full of hallucinatory images, strange characters, and oddly fitting music as he fights the logical end result of capitalism and American greed---shopping as a full-contact sport, complete with tactical plans, blueprints, and physical assaults.Shopping has become more than a sport, its become a military operation.
