Tennessee woman trampled during Black Friday shopping

Black Friday in Duluth was injury-free — from what I observed. That wasn’t the case in Tennessee.

One woman fractured her knee while shopping at Toys R Us in Clarsville, reported WSMV-TV in Nashville.

Police spokesman Jim Knoll said that Amy Serna was trampled. She was taken to the hospital.

In Duluth, I didn’t even see a disgruntled face, much less a fracture.

Serna told the Leaf Chronicle shoppers got unruly after the store delayed the midnight opening because it wanted police to get there before it let people inside. Toys R Us was unavailable for comment.

Target has posted the TV commercials with Duluth native Maria Bamford.

In the five commercials posted online, Bamford plays the roles of two sisters — one who will be first in line at Target for the "door buster" sales and the other is more casual and will shop when its convenient for her.

My favorite ad has the "door buster" sister intensely training for Black Friday on an elliptical exercise machine.

"The Target two-day sales is almost here and the last thing that is going to stop me is weak thighs," Bamford says sternly. "Mountain series. Level 10. Backwards."
