...the hell?
Am I going to have to explain why this one's interesting again.
Yes Brad, yes you are. What the hell is Black Friday? Is this another one of those strange US customs that make no sense to us brits?
BRAD! I am far too interested in you to be interested in these bargains! Although, the rock bottom prices for namebrand merchandise on this site _is_ terrific! [Offer not valid in the Argentina, void where prohibited, Mini Cooper owners receive handjobs from corporate whores where accplicable.]
What is Black Friday?
My understanding is that this site (among others, like Fat Wallet) is dedicated to giving away lists of loss leaders (items sold at a large discount / profit loss to lure consumers into stores with the bet that they'll buy something else to make it worthwhile). So with the information on these websites consumers can just go in, buy all the discount items and save a whole bunch of money (and in extreme cases, resell the items for profit, or return and rebuy the items for further discount).
The stores hate this of course because it ruins their loss-leading trick. And it looks like Black Friday has been threatened with legal action by Home Depot.
Cool, nice link.
Yeah, OK .... could we maybe have just had another site about Mini Coopers instead?
Does anything in this site explain how to get bacon? Because I want bacon but I don't want to pay more than I have to for bacon.
Winnie Cooper is buying herself a 24" coordinating necklace from K-mart for $41.99, I bet.
I always wanted to do Winnie Cooper when I was a kid.
That was before I knew what "doing" someone really entailed.
a Dancing Dora Doll at Wal*Mart for ONLY $12.00?!?!
The only thing cooler than a Dancing Dora is a Mini Cooper.
