HEY JIM HALPERT, WHERE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? PAM IS AN IDIOT. CALL ME!

It bugs me that the day after Thanksgiving/biggest shopping day of the year is called "Black Friday." I know it's probably called that because that's when stores get back into the black ledger-book-wise, but the connotations to the stock market crash and some sort of vaguely plaguey something are so great that every time I hear it, I roll my eyes and think, oh, yes, poor dears at the corporate headquarters are throwing themselves out windows because shoppers are insisting at buying sickening quantities of their products. Boo hoo.
