Here in the UK they attempted to bring us our own version. Lots of videos and news reports emerged throughout the day reporting damage done to stores, their products & people getting injured which is similar to how you guys in the US have it I believe? LOL.
I did have a look at our local shopping centre today though, because I had some presents to buy anyway and the stores I went in weren't all that bad. But it was like 2pm so I assume all the crazies had been and gone!
I just don't think it'll ever be the same over here. The "deals" they seem to hold for it aren't even that great in my opinion and a lot of people just grab things for the sake of getting it for a reduced price. I think I'd rather stay home, order online for full price and have it delivered to my door!
