			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/10/blackfriday_notVIP2.jpg" class="left" style="display:block;float:none;" /><a href="http://gizmodo.com.au/tags/black+friday">Black Friday&#8217;s</a> going to be longer and crazier this year, thanks to The Troubles. We <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/10/economys_failings_could_result_in_the_craziest_black_friday_yet-2.html">got the memo</a>. But Best Buy is jumping in with both feet&#8211;with their Black Friday VIP program, they&#8217;re looking for a few good crazies to arrive in a limo sipping mimosas at 25 major metro Best Buys around the country, bright and early at 4:30 AM for the rare privilege of buying up some &#8220;doorbusters&#8221; (limit four) before the ravaging hordes with faces smashed against glass outside. Do you have what it takes?</p>
<p><!-- Gawker Tags/Categories: sign of the apocalypse, best buy, black friday, black friday vips, depression 2.0, flip, shopping, vips --><br />
<span id="more-312742"></span>
<p><a href="http://www.askablueshirt.net/blackfridayvip">To enter</a>, Best Buy wants to see a video from you sharing &#8220;how Black Friday shopping is an important holiday tradition for them and their family, and what kinds of rituals they have to make the morning after Thanksgiving an enjoyable kick off to the holiday season.&#8221; So be sure to demonstrate your abilities to trample and claw at your fellow man without worry, and especially your proclivities at fashioning crowd-control weapons from items rummaged from JC Penny&#8217;s dumpster (where you must also forage for breakfast).</p>
<p>Winners will also, in addition to 4:30 AM buying privileges, receive on-site prizes and &#8220;pampering&#8221; for up to three guests and a Flip Video ultra to preserve the memories.</p>
<p>Sign of the Apocalypse, perhaps, but maybe a touch of genius: this is the ONLY way I would ever, ever consider getting with in 2 square kms of a Black Friday cattle call. Here is the list of participating Best Buys:</p>
