Such fine examples of humanity, America must be so proud to have reared these shining beacons of hope to the world.

K~

I prefer to look at the bright side and adopt HL Menckens adage...."no one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public"

Every consumer is an opportunity for the savy entrepreneur.

Alex Jones built an empire on that exact mindset and demographic....I'm giving Strawberry true caveman paleo Formula for gag gifts this xmas.






Didn't you read "Art of the Deal"

They got stuck at the very bottom of the page. It's amazing how just perfect that song is for those clips.

Actually I like it with the shoppers fighting audio on too:

I use my 120" 4D for that, it's like kneeling on the sideline with Kap without the bother of having to go through training camp.

I had my mother, who is a Walmart store manager, put aside a 55" Samsung for me that I am purchasing as a gift, the price is well below any previous prices this year by at least half.

Walmart USA "Black Friday Special" - Samsung 55" QN55Q8C - $2445.98 (USD) + Applicable Taxes

Same TV in Canada....$1879.88 (USD) + Applicable Taxes.

There's something you don't see every day!

It was this one:

Samsung 55" Class FHD (1080P) Smart LED TV $447.99, regular price $1,199.00.

I'm in the thick of it as I type this, sitting at a bookstore cafe people watching.

The parking lot is overflowing with cars, shoppers everywhere, a junior baseball league canvassing for donations.....but no all and out brawls over merchandise. Everyone here is calm, composed and congenial.

Maybe I should have gone to Wallyworld.

I hear it's Mayhem Central.

It's not too late to bash someone over the head with your tablet.

Muwahahahahahaha.

I have been thinking of reigning down chaos lately now that you mention it.

Let me finish my coffee and I'll see what mischief I can stir up.

If that's what is going to make the gift giving good for you!

I was more shocked about seeing electronics substantially cheaper in Canada. Not something we get the luxury of, every day.

I think with all the civil unrest over the past year, this black Friday will be more like an adult male in his 50's masturbating 15-20 times that day before his big date that night.

It's actually for my mother but she thinks she's holding it for my brother.

That is rather odd, all of the products the company I work for produces are typically 30% higher in the frozen north.

For all of those who go to do black friday, they do not realize that they have been dupped. You see, this is how retailers mostly work. From Jan to about August/September, the prices are about what you would find on that day, maybe a bit lower. Then about August/September, they raise the prices, especially on things that they know people will want, giving it a slightly markup. And run it like that until Black Friday, when people think that they are getting a deal. It is nothing more than a marketing ploy to get people into the doors.

Is the gift for your mum?

It is, but she thinks she's getting it for my brother.

Very nice. I'm sure she will be quite happy when the secret is broken.

That lines up with the norm, which is why I am shocked, and generally dismayed, at US "big sales" events. It has become more and more common to find a matching product, for cheaper, up here. Granted...it's a good problem to have!

Couple that with poutine and it almost makes me want to move there.

ruin what Christmas should really be about

Christmas is built on a lie so it should not even exist. If people want to help and give to one another why do they need some false holy day to do it?


"Black Friday" aptly named!
