APhoto of the Day w/Top Cutlines — 12/3/08


Noah Berger/AP
Nevaeh Enoch, 6, peers out from a shopping cart while waiting for a Wa-Mart to open around 5 a.m. on Black Friday in Oakland, Calif. Hoping for deals on clothes and toys, Enoch and her mom joined the line of several hundred people at 2:45 a.m. You write the cutline.

Top Cutlines:

1. Nevaeh watched in dismay and horror as she realized the shopping cart was dismally inadequate protection for the upcoming stampede – no seat belt, no helmet, no flak jacket, no Kevlar – all this sacrifice for a cheap thrill -- JeanieSpokane.
2. Wal-Mart management issued this press release: "In light of the recent trampling incident, customers will be asked to ride in armored carts on future visits to the store" -- Brent Andrews.
3. Young Nevaeh is saddened as she realizes her name didn't originate from the Slavic word for Butterfly as she had come to believe, but rather, her mother’s favorite hand lotion on aisle three -- Poolman.
