Also, the proper term is "African American Friday."

Was anyone trampled to death this year, or did everyone do their shopping online?

Internet Fact: The term "Black Friday" comes from that the last Thursday in November, the year's shipment of slaves would come in from Africa and everyone would do their shopping in preparation for next spring's planting season.

Why does Black Friday last about two weeks now. It wasn't like that back in the old days (2007.)

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Nevermind that, it's only two days til Cyber Monday!

 

[Dr Dave]

And 3 till taco Tuesday!

It's good that Amazon have this helpful page: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cyber-Monday/b?ie=UTF8&node=4781753031

They should have just stacked some sheep instead of spending money on that.

 

[Dr Dave]

That is the best idea I've heard all day.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Still true.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I went shopping on Friday (undeterred by all those people The Daily Mail claimed had been shot and run over), but I just bought normal things at normal prices. The bargains are always on junk. Especially Amazon’s. It’s all hub caps and USB cables.

My Hello Kitty hubcaps arrive tomorrow by 8PM!

It's the commercialisation of Black Friday that I really resent. It used to be fun until all the money men came in with their cellphones and their Jetskis.
