This is a screen shot of an email I received today. First off, when did Black Friday become a week?
But more importantly, how is it that a country that does not actually celebrate Thanksgiving can justify recognizing Black Friday? Many more emails like this have followed throughout the day, and not all have been limited to US companies like Amazon. Many of the European retail chains I saw on the way to work advertised "Vendredi Noir" or "Black Friday" sales in the shop window. How does this make any sort of sense!?! I bet the purist French hearts beating across the country today are seething at the incursion of the increasingly-outrageous American tradition of Black Friday. Even if it does get them 20% off.
