Why so angry?

I get those every day when i open my mailbox..
y'know those flyers: "SALE! bazillion inches lcd TV $199 (was $999, only today)".

When you arrive at the store, there's a huge crowd in front of it and the tv's are sold out in less than 10 minutes. 80% of those sheep buying them don't even need a new tv, they only buy it because of the irresistible offer, herd-mentality and scarcity of the deal.

Same concept at online deal-sites:
