I also deny being a cheerleader.
No matter what Sarge and/or Sheldon tell you.

So, this is what American hegemony looks like. You're welcome.

"This TV's not worth it," she said disgustedly... as she stood in line paying for the fucking TV she fought to get.
The way to make this bullshit stop is for everyone to stop complaining about Christmas stuff being too early when it comes before Thanksgiving. Because I'll tell you right now, as someone who has to shop for 4 kids in my nuclear family plus a ton of extended relatives who have never agreed to a "draw one relative out of the hat because we have too many damn relatives" scheme... 3 weeks is not enough time to get good presents for everyone. It's just not. Yes, I could go to the mall and get a shitty present for everyone in a couple of hours, but giving a shitty present is worse than giving no present. I started thinking, planning, and shopping for Christmas presents before Thanksgiving, and the sooner we all do that, the sooner we can get rid of this artificial start date. When Best Buy sends out a flyer that says "get your Black Friday deals a week early!" and no one gets all bitter and cries foul, the trampling will stop. |

safely ensconced in my rural retreat it is easy for me to ignore all the hullabaloo and consequently not get all het up about it.
That and the whole thing is moot since I haven't got any money to spend at the moment. And, those cheerleaders are way over-dressed. IMO

3am here and the radio news has just said that shops are gearing up for another day of retail mayhem.
The attractions of living on an island, or somewhere with a moat at the very least, become greater as each day passes. Last edited by Carruthers; 11-28-2014 at 10:46 PM. |

Not getting het up is my thing, so Black Friday is decidedly not my thing.
Besides, manufacturers produce lines of items specifically for BF that have inferior parts (so they can be sold for less). Risk life and limb for stuff that's even more worthless than what's on offer the rest of the year? I think not. (I should provide a link but don't have the tech savvy ... it was a story linked to CNN within the past week.)

This happened well before November 2014, but it's still funny:

That's why I liked the Black Friday cheerleaders ... no inferior parts.
I know, I know, lump of coal for me this Christmas. |

Black Friday revisited. (Language may offend).
If I could briefly return to the subject of Black Friday...
That should read 'fewer s..t TVs to sell' not 'less'. Standards are slipping. |
