You are not your effing khakis. Don't participate in Black Friday.



From Adbusters: http://www.adbusters.org/campaigns/bnd

In St. Louis, people are already lining up outside Best Buy. They'll be the first to snag bargains at the biggest shopping day of the year. So. What.

Here are a few things to do instead:

Go for a walk.
Talk to a neighbor.
Bake a pie.
Cuddle with your dog.
Write a letter.
Read a magazine.
Stretch.
Play football.
Call your grandma.
Research a country you know nothing about.
Go through your closet and get rid of clothes.
Look at old photographs.
Put on some music.
Write a rap song.

All of these things are more fun than pushing past a fat dude to grab the last flat screen.

I really like your list of things to do instead of buying stuff. That's a great list for things to do instead of watching t.v. or getting glued to the computer (ha ha; said as I sitting here glued to the computer) The point being that this is a way to live in the moment and get away from fears for the future.
