Most Americans probably know this but for the rest of the world the “black friday” sale is strange. Most of us sane ppl mourn if anything is called “black friday”. But looks like in the US, the store owners who were supposed to mourn their loss of prices are grinning with glee. There is nothing worth in such sale except increasing the deficit the US has with china.
Looks like LCD tv’s are big these days. I believe that LCD tv’s will replace all CRT displays with the next 2-3 yrs in the developed countries except for those nostalgic granpa’s of course. I doubt anyone in the US can claim to be even frugal let alone stingy which would hamper the sales in the other countries.
