Title should read "biggest IDIOT shopping day of the year"

Black Friday isn't expected to draw the kind of crowds this year that it has in the past, according to RetailNext, a firm that tracks retail shopper traffic. Instead, the biggest shopping day of the year will fall on Friday, December 23, the firm predicts. The significance of Black Friday has waned in recent years as retailers have started launching their post-Thanksgiving sales earlier, with many now starting them on Thanksgiving Day, said Shelley Kohan, vice president of retail consulting at RetailNext.

Saw on NBC 5:30 national news yesterday that Mall of America, the largest mall in the nation, will be CLOSED on Thanksgiving totally this year.
Of course it was reported as giving employees time off, family, blah blah blah...reality is, not profitable to be open on Thanksgiving Day (and the headaches of staffing and policing all the retail areas, parking areas, add in the increased use and appeal of online shopping to both consumers and retailers)

I guess I can gloat because I said the first time stores started opening on Thanksgiving that it was going to be the beginning of the end for the whole Black Friday hysteria. Bad thing is, a lot of those businesses need that day to be big in order to bring profit margins up to the point where they can continue to operate. You already have behemoths like JCPenney and Sears on the ropes, this could be the nail in their coffins.
As stupid as it seems, Black Friday was kind of an event to participate in for some people that also just happened to give a good necessary jolt to the economy. It was brilliantly stupid. I cant see the downfall of it as anything positive, no matter how much I have always avoided it like the plague.

I find the issue with Black Friday to me about shoppers boycotting the day for Racial reasons. #BlackFridayMatters
