Something I Wish I'd Seen

Imagine the 50 nerdliest nerds playing the Musical Chairs game of their lives. 50 pimple-covered, gangly social outcasts being stripped to their most primal instincts. They must have Playstation 3, it is essential for their survival. Inevitably chaos would erupt, and out of chaos comes hilarious tragedy, or hilagedy.

Man injured in sprint for place in line

West Bend - One person was injured early this morning outside the Wal-Mart department store in West Bend as a crowd of about 50 people lined up for a chance to buy one of 10 coveted video game systems the store has for sale.

Police have provided details of the incident late this morning:

An assistant store manager announced to the crowd, which had formed about 7 a.m., that the store expected to receive only 10 of the Sony PlayStation 3 game consoles, and that they would become available at 12:01 a.m. Friday.

The store official placed 10 chairs outside the store and directed the waiting customers to another area. At a signal, the customers were told to run to try to occupy one of the chairs. During the contest, a 19-year-old man ran into a pole and struck his head, injuring himself. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Police said the case was one of helping an injured person, and was not the subject of any criminal investigation.
