Black Friday News 2015: Man Begins Best Buy Campout 33 Days Prior To Sale, Wants To Be First To Get A 'New TV?' [PHOTO]
A Florida man is hoping to break a record for how long he is waiting outside of his local Best Buy store in the hopes of snagging a new TV this Black Friday by already beginning his campout-33 days before the sale.

According to Click Orlando, radio show host Kevin Sutton has officially taken up his spot in front of the doors at a Best Buy in the Florida Mall in Orlando, in a three way effort to not only score a guaranteed ticket to get whatever TV the retailer offers as a doorbuster and set a record, but to also raise money and donations for a charity that supports homeless children.
Sutton told News 6 that he is accepting donations, gifts, toys and money to be given to the Love Pantry, in an effort to raise awareness for 13,000 homeless children throughout Central Florida. He has also admitted he does want to purchase a new television and beat a record set by two women in California last year, who camped out for 22 days.

Sutton also said he will only live on food and water that is provided to him through donations to ensure he doesn't leave his tent setup for a prolonged period of time, and should he need to use restroom facilities, he has access to the ones inside the Best Buy store during business hours.
Sutton also camped out last year, for a total of 15 days before the sale. This year's goal is double the amount of time he camps out.
