It's an American religious festival. Worshippers make sacrifices to Mammon and pray for fleeting affection from loved ones grateful for gifts to be received or impressed by toys and status symbols to be displayed.

Every year there are a few incidents across the country that remind me why I've lost faith in humanity. This year there were a few robberies, fights, and even shootings, but that's old hat at this point; usually there is a good trampling or two, but it was relatively quiet this time. This year the winner, clearly by unanimous decision, is the woman who pepper sprayed 15 or 20 people (including a 5 year old girl) in order to get an Xbox 360.

It's like a reverse Zombie Apocalypse where you have to stay as far away from malls, hardware stores and supermarkets as possible.

this Black Friday of which you speak?
It's the day where American's spend a lot of money on junk right after the day where all American's celebrate how thankful they are for having what they have.

ROFL. Yeah Target is evil for making her goto work on no sleep. Perhaps you can begin the campaign for drowsiness days. LOL. Besides your little virtuous boycott is patently absurd unless practiced against all participating institutions. Read: all of them

the real problem is that Wall Street pushes "super profitability" and Black Friday is the one time of year that push is visible to the regular consumer. Most retail businesses run unprofitable from January to Thanksgiving... literally relying on Black Friday to keep the doors open come January 1. The frenzy is whipped up because the stakes for the big chains are so high... investors on Wall Street can shut them all down if they don't pull extreme numbers every year....
Just watching this year's YouTube videos of Black Friday show the whole thing is out of control.. the lackeys on the front lines are understaffed and poorly equipped for these yearly stunts. With the chaos over trivial items, it's almost like the 99% -ers are proved right... imagine the fun the 1% will have when we get to fight over food and clean water!!!
