What in the world is going on this year? There seems to be WAY more advertising for Black Friday, there are all manner of stores opening on Thanksgiving, and there is a rash of resulting call-in radio shows about the decay of America. Sheesh.
As a curmudgeon, I have, naturally, ignored "Black Friday" for obvious reasons. Like I'm about to join the frenzied masses to do battle for that deal on this year's hot toy. Crushed by the mob at Walmart jamming into their 6am opening. I don't think so.
But with some $50 BILLION in sales for the one day at stake, I can understand a tad of advertising enthusiasm. Just don't expect any curmudgeons to turn out.
