Only in MURCUH. They take a day that was for decades a pleasant day where people opted to go shopping.
A bit more crowded than usual – but not that bad. Fun actually. But then came the hordes, the rancid masses – w an xtra dollar in their pockets. Then it became a HERD. Then a STAMPEDE. Now the troglodytes have named it “Black Friday.” Certainly something of which to be proud! Go go, Murcuhns!!!
