This past Leap Day, CashTomato.com decided to do a promotional giveaway in Manhattan. Costumed workers were to hand out envelopes of cash and other items at 2:29 p.m. -- nothing was worth more than $29.
As the appointed time approached, the crowd of people began to shout, "Give me my money!" and general mayhem ensued. People grabbed money from the CashTomato reps, trampling others to wrest the prize packages away from them.
Anabel DeJesus, one of the prize-seekers, said, "Before I knew it, I was on the floor" and under a pile of people. "It's not worth it," she said. What a profound statement!
What has this world come to that people will risk life and limb and trample their neighbors for $29? A spokesman for CashTomato said, "It turned out to be a lot of aggressive people." I disagree -- it turned out to be a bunch of greedy animals!
