Thread: Black Friday!

So, how many of us plan on going to any stores and camp out all night like a bunch of super consumers? I drove past the best buy an hour ago and there are already like 3 tents. To be honest, I'm glad my lack of money is keeping me from freaking out and buying a super cheap HDTV.

Black Friday has always bothered me. I love how a few sales on crap people REALLY don't need cause soccer-moms to unleash the inner soccer hooligan in them and bust people's noses just to get to be the first one to touch a popular child's toys. I'm pretty sure videos from Black Friday rival the videos in India as far as mass amounts of people in hysterics.

(Bonus Points if you post a reply from your internet-capable phone saying you are camping out)

It really depends on how much money i have at the time and who they are for. I usually only buy like 1 gift each for 4-5 people. I never give out to my family. Thats just all sorts of lame.

I'd rather burglarize someone's house while they're on vacation, and sleep in their bed. Regularly.

Im going to best buy in the next hour or so with some friends

Who in their right mind would battle the crowds and traffic?

Don't pay full price, pay Paul's price.


Bonus internet points to those who get it

how about hell no

I prefer Moonie Monday myself.

I'm waking up in five hours to go to the mall, I'm not even buying anything.

I'm going just for the sole reason of going. Hope its FUN!

Nigga Tuesday isn't bad either.

I'm actually an Ash Wednesday myself.

Ash Wednesday always sneaks up on me. Im always in a public place wondering why the hell no one washed their faces today.

i'm all about ash wednesday for one reason, and one reason only

I just did most of my Christmas shopping.

Online.

With no sales.

Gasp.

The shit I buy as Christmas presents doesn't come from stores that have super Black Friday sales.

No, I shop at the Dollar Tree.

Dollar TREE? Damn, your family is high class.

You could get the same prices on the internet...

I went and bought a new 32 inch flat screen for my room so I can put this one in the guest bedroom. I paid under $400.00 so I'm happy.

In business, to be in the "black" means to have positive numbers.

As opposed to red which is negative.

So to have a Black Friday means businesses are hoping for lots of profit.

All I did was cuss at people walking slow enough to qualify as sloths and cursed at traffic as well.

Shitty commercial holiday.

Actually.. Close..

Black refers to breaking even. Most retail places will either break even at 0 or be slightly UNDER zero.

Green would be positive numbers.

So I hear at walmart TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE were waiting outside to get in, they opened the doors and trampled and employee to death.

You are correct sir.
