There's a Black Friday thread in the Deals forum that you might want to check out.

Bezos probably won't change the name. After all, Thursdays have a bad name. Arthur Dent once said "I never could get the hang of Thursdays." He said that moments before Earth was destroyed by Vogons. Jeff probably said to himself, "If Earth is ever destroyed by Vogons, it will probably be on a Thursday. If I'm going to have a chance to sell people stuff on Black Friday, I'd better have the Black Friday sale a day earlier." If a Vogon Constructor Fleet appears in the sky on that Thursday, hanging in the air much the same way as bricks don't, Jeff will have just one thing to ask of his loyal customers:

"Last orders, please."

I think that black Friday is horrible. This just adds to the over commercialization of yet another holiday. This should be a family oriented celebration, regardless of whether they are related by blood or not.

I've said it before and I'll say it again I wish that we would move our Thanksgiving celebration to the same day the Canadians celebrate. As it is now between Thanksgiving and the week after New Years most business shuts down and it hurts our economy. Except retail of course. Many of us don't celebrate Christmas or if we do, don't buy into the frenzied shopaholic activities.

So, yeah nothing says home for the holidays like getting up at 4 to go work or shop at Wal mart while the rest of the family sleeps and plays.

Disgusting

How is that any differant than any other holiday?

kindlekitten · 11-04-2014, 11:17 AM

Unfortunately it's not, but until very recently this overdose of crash commercialism wasn't part of it. It had been a family/friend focused event

Glorfindel · 11-04-2014, 11:22 AM

Black Friday? It was commercial from the start. Hence the name.
