It's actually the important for business that make consumer goods. Since November is close to the end of the year they make an effort to boost sales by discounting items and getting people to spend money. This helps the company sales go from red to black, hence Black Friday....don't you love holidays made up by corporations to suck money from us...? :lol:

It is called Black Friday because it is the day that Edi Amin (who inpsired the moviethe Last King of Scotland) finally took power, giving power to Zimbabwe's army so that they could run the White supremicists out of South Africa's upper caste.
