Black Friday is the name given to the day following Thanksgiving in the United States. On this day, most major retailers open extremely early, often at midnight, or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the holiday shopping season, similar to Boxing Day sales. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many non-retail employers also observe this day as a holiday along with Thanksgiving, giving their employees the day off, thereby increasing the number of potential shoppers. It is one of the busiest if not THE busiest shopping day of the YEAR.

This all sounds AWESOME, however people wait in long lines, often camping out for sales that are somewhat mediocre at best. In previous years people have been seriously injured and even trampled to DEATH, which is extremely UNAWESOME!

In my opinion, this is just another excuse for consumers to buy things that they didn't even need! Consumerism at its finest!
