Aldi, Woman rams woman, Advertising and general stupidity

Post by doctle »

A woman in an Aldi store in Dublin was taken to hospital after another woman rammed her with a trolley. She was about to pick up the last Kevin the carrot stuffed toy in the store.
You'd have to wonder what is wrong with people that they would buy the advert rather than a product and the idea of hurting someone over this advertisers wet dream is beyond my comprehension.
The figures are €25 about £20 which is madness.

Baffles me why anyone would want one.
I was in Aldi yesterday and didn't see any not that I was looking. Didn't buy any carrots either.

People can be such idiots in shops, just as on the roads.
Luckily I rarely encounter any.

The stupid things only came in, and likely sold out, today. Seems P.T. Barnum was right!
