"African-American" Friday Madness Redux!

Yeah, no, I didn't go shopping early this morning.  I just felt the need to rehash this gimmick just like I did last year.  I was smart and did my shopping online again.  Actually, I literally just got most of my presents bought.  However, when I went to Amazon, I saw that Fallout: New Vegas and Fable III, two games I've been looking forward to playing well before they were released, were knocked down to $35 and $30 respectively.  So I decided to put New Vegas in my cart for the time being while I did the rest of my shopping, planning to just take it back out of the cart at the end once I realized the damage I've done.  But as I continued shopping, I was told that I had only 14 minutes or else New Vegas would go back up to regular price.  Yeesh.  So if there's an online shopping equivalent to just running around and grabbing random stuff, I did that.  Well, I did put SOME thought into my purchases, just not as much as I would've liked.  So I got most of my family taken care of with just a couple gifts left to go.  All in all, I only spent about $70, half of that on myself.  So I'm kinda proud, I guess.

"African-American" Friday Madness!

For everyone wondering about the title, I figured I should address it right off the bat. I feel that "Black" Friday is way too racist and have since changed it to "African-American" Friday to be more PC, despite the fact that "Black" is the term for a business' profit, not the color of anybody's skin. But that didn't stop people from calling out black holes as racist. Plus, Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream where he envisioned a world where black people can stand side-by-side with white people at Wal-Marts across the nation at 5 AM, acting like jerks and spending money frivolously just like us whities! Plus, as it was pointed out to me, Sears' Black Friday commercials had nothing but black people in them. Equality indeed. I'm just wondering if Sears still sells those swank Cliff Huxtable sweaters.
