Black Friday Hysteria Revealed

[WlatPziupp]

About 80% of things you buy, you didn't even want. Why on earth do you think they have sales at all? And especially the small wares or sales near the counter.

Understand the system and handle it with care.

[Banryu95]

Black Friday is always assumed to be the "biggest shopping day" of the year but December 24th and the weekend before are both statistically proven to be busier. Black Friday is all about marketing! Anything to get people to spend money. The sales aren't even that great. If they were too good, then it wouldn't be "Black" Friday (financially keeping businesses in the 'black' as opposed to red at the end of the year)

The term feeding frenzy comes to mind. Civility and common sense are ignored.

[Jagged7Airship]

@CCCOBI Why do you think its called BLACK friday?

[CaptCamping]

Black Friday doesnt work very well on the web. I dont find too many good bargains.

[Fekona]

@CaptCamping Cyber Mondays I heard is the Monday after Black Friday the time when online sales happen! silly I know :)

[funrizwan]

okay..............

[CCCOBI]

its fucking ridiculous that you hear on the news that people were killed because they were trampled by over-anxious shoppers to get the best deals.

What the fuck has our World gone to?

[MsSomeonenew]

@CCCOBI People are as they always were, pack animals, and as pack animals we tend to follow the herd. And the IQ of the herd is dumbest guys IQ divided by number of people. And thats why people will start to act like mindless sheep.

It becomes a problem when corporations use this to their advantage, just create the false illusion of a discount, lures the dumbest people in, and once a herd builds the whole thing spreads like wildfire.

The way of capitalism... ftw :P

If you think black Friday is a good thing, then you have NEVER worked retail.

[danratsnapnames]

@Stevenatripp LOL.. no kidding. HELL FRIDAY! its all fake anyways.. i watched walmart tenz unit show 200% markups go to 800% then back down to %300 on black friday.. its a scam.

[AWickedMind]

Lol. They seriously hired a phsychologist to break down and help us understand the deeper meanings of the frenzy behind Black Friday? It's really simple... 50-80% off shit that you want. I scored $48 tv seasons for $12.99- that's enough to make anybody get their ass to the store.

[GnomeSharkTOG]

Wow you really want to trample a guy for a 360 or a ps3,it's dissapointing seeing us act like savages

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

I found everything I wanted online .

[ykparty]

[PirateXzibit]

Psychology ftw!

[Keimori12]

wait, Correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't black friday the day the great depression began? why celebrate that?

[NC1V]

no it was black monday. black friday is the day when the shopping season for christmas begins

[Redlin5]

Whatever, live in your capitalist fantasy world.

[Redlin5]

Black Friday is Friday the 13th! Leave it up to Americans to take an existing name for a date and use it to describe a shopping day.

[BVVoung]

hey genius wrong black friday

[jalbroven91]

Actually you're wrong, Redlin5. Black friday is our own day.

[Docthewrench]

friday the 13th is black friday>? since when the 13th of friday came about during the crusades when they were gathered up and killed by the man who gave them their power THE POPE

[rh117]

disgust friday. buy nothing day is the way to go

[Bearram1]

Fear??? Come on... If they love you less because you didn't buy them the "right gift". Then it is your wallet they love not you.

[ricpride]

I concur.

But we live in a materialistic society, which promotes "things." Buying a gift is the one more important thing in American culture. The only way to stop this is to stop promoting materialism and promote simplicity. If you do that, then how will the fat-cats make their millions and decrease inventory? :P

[eLLriDe420]

people will spend thier earned money the way they want. we are not chinese, we do not promote simplicity. we promote money, and the more you have, the happier you are

[vortic5]

greedy friday!

[mockingarab]

"women are stupid and I don't respect them.. show me your genitals.." Jon LaJoie

Fuck black FridAY... it's a way for businesses to get rid of old fashioned and outdated stuff to make room for new stuff. I prefer buying them at an auction laaaaaaaater..

[slunacourtier]

GUILT??? Oh please TRY GREED!!!

[ng416]

lol bargain is spelled wrong

[mondothehawk]

Christmas needs to be a day where we put down the guns and hate, and care about each other with compassion, not material crap. I'm sure there are many people out there that would rather have a family than some material possesion.

[ToaHannah007]

I agree

[TFskyfire]

not first lol

[MegaInidejmasa]
