American ****e that has no place over here, given that we don't celebrate Thanksgiving ffs. Yet another reason to hate Christmas.
You think that's bad, you should see some of the Vine's on Twitter, there's actually people twatting each other over a new telly.
I was in the gym this morn and the tv showed live the door of a supermarket being opened. As it did people near the front fell forwards and those behind literally trampled over them, yes they walked over the backs of human beings without batting an eyelid. All for £20 off a toaster. I hope evryone in these pics or on the tv is thoroughly ashamed, but they wont be. Also the stores themselves need to take a serious look at their approach to this.
We're buying our youngest a new PC for xmas from PC World. Noticed last night it had a 100 nicker off it this morning. Reserved it online & picked it up this morning. Overall, quite a civil experience.
Apparently, this is the day that businesses are in the "Black" and making a profit after meeting overhead and expenses for the rest of the year.
Its something to do with Philadelphia police isnt it? Cant quite recall what. Although on the news this morn it said its cos this is the day shops finances go "into the black".
Yes of course it's a reference to the finances of the retailers turning into the black. Keeping up the retail theme, in the words of Young Mr. Grace "You've all done very well"
From Wiki The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving.[6][7] Use of the term started before 1961 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation was made: that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss ("in the red") from January through November, and "Black Friday" indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or "in the black". The term does pre-date the shopping reference although the latter explanation is the one used by the media.....
And the stupid gits will do it all again at 6:00 am on Boxing Day. All the major stores will have ads for their "Boxing Day Sales." The ads will include graphics of boxing gloves because very few in North Ameica actually know the meaning of Boxing Day. Mind you, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of young people in the UK are unaware of its meaning, these days.
the demographic of the people pictured in this black Friday is no surprise chavs immigrants scroungers, will queue for hours for a few quid off a **** tv (polaroid)?! talk about tatt, kinhell like a pack of baboons, despicable, hope they all die
