Was going to write up some EPIC ranting about Black Friday ridiculousness and the general insanity of overconsumption, but my insane corporate retail job is eating up my day.

So instead, I'll just wish you a happy Buy Nothing Day.

May you avoid crowds, consumer-violence, corporate influence, hypercommercialization, and many other ills this day.

Or,

you could buy your girlfriend a handbag from COH,

and a new sound system for you at HGG.

Get your children new toys from HAS,

give your teenage nephew a one year subscription to ATVI's latest game,

then go to the movies watch anything made by DWA (with DLB soundtrack, of course).

While you are at it, don't forget that tomorrow you should stop at your local F dealer to get a new ride.

With so many loved ones depending on you, remember to upgrade your insurance policy with AFL on Monday.

Fool on!

Happy Buy Nothign day to you as well!

And good on you for refusing to support dragging people away from their families on a holiday to play the role of servants to the affluent.
