Black Friday is for the ancient folk.
Cyber Monday is the modern way to do it!

I haven't participated in these things for years. There are other times you can find discounts that don't involve trampling over others and fighting over the last TV in stock. Also not worth the hours of standing.

Since every year (or every other year), people get trampled to death in the rushes on black friday;

I wouldn't be sorry at all to see the government get rid of it.

I wouldn't be sorry at all.

And I'm certainly not partaking.

I shall stay at home, have a drink, and play video games. I understand there is more to life than money, clothes, and discounts.

I will thankfully not be partaking in the giant consumerist froth-fest that is "Black Friday." On top of it being completely and utterly ridiculous, I'm good not being trampled by a million soccer moms stampeding about in some shitty Walmart.

I'm going to drive around on my ATV with my friends shining my high-powered laser pointers at the crowd, blasting dubstep from subwoofers, and shouting "ONLINE SHOPPERS MASTER RACE!"

Then again, I might get shot because I'm black.

Then again, I might not even buy anything to piss off the consumers.

Only 7 deaths, 2 of which are trampling.

I live in Canada, Black Friday here is like a heavily watered down, worse than Boxing Day version of what it is down south. Nonetheless, if I get into the city that day I'll probably stop by Walmart or the Mall.

Over here, Black Friday is non-existent; Boxing Day is our equivalent (and it's after Christmas which makes it even better).

I live in an area populated by post-ironic hipsters who are too hip and edgy for that shit, so yes I will be going out. It's not really busy so I can get all the deals that I want without having to fight for it.

It's an American 'holiday' after Thanksgiving. Basically stores have huge sales. People tend too get too wild, though, and that's why most everyone here doesn't like it.
