Yes, there’s a Web site for Black Friday. Probably several, but that’s the one that’s getting press on CNN. What’s really interesting are the postings regarding how Office Depot and Disney are addressing the site’s existence in two very different ways. Disney clearly understands how to participate in the online conversation, Office Depot clearly does not.

As far as I’m concerned, though, Black Friday is gross. The news tonight will be filled with images of fools trampling and injuring other fools to purchase some piece of crap that will break in six months. If you can’t wait for the evening news, click here for news from the Florida front lines. Or here for word from the Michigan trenches. Egads. Newspapers having to post editorials like this is insane. I personally support Buy Nothing Day.
