so, given that black friday is the day of the year where things cost the least, and we're mostly all going to convert stupid amounts of our money into christmas presents anyways (some of you may, like me, entirely boycott christmas...it's to the point that i don't even make cards, which hasn't left me popular with friends or family), why do we choose this day to boycott?

oh yeah. it's because we're a bunch of privileged liberals that can walk in a few weeks later when the sales are over and shell the cash out without it hurting us. of course. carry on as before.

just don't forget to snicker at those silly poor people for thinking that, if they beat the line, they may be able to afford christmas this year, and maybe keep a little bit of their constantly eroding social pride. wtf are they thinking. silly poor people.

i mean, don't get me wrong. i'm sitting here boycotting the whole thing. the boycott's as much religious as it is anti-capitalist. when i say 'fuck christmas', i mean it. heartily.

but converting normal people into jaded fuckers like me is a long, difficult process full of traumatic experiences. most people have to deal with this shit. those 70% mark downs are kind of useful, if you've got two kids and four in-laws to prove you're not desperately poor to, in between handing out 95% of your income to various types of rentiers.

naw. silly poor people. look at them run into each other. they're funny.
