Yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys just jump at any opportunity to not have to work.

Prost!

I use to hate the Friday after thanksgiving when I worked retail. I think it's called "Black Friday" in some circles. I'm going to spend that day driving my fast car and hanging with my cool music pals.

I am full support of Buy Nothing Day, but my employer isn't. I don't have to buy anything but working in retail I have to attempt to sell things. I guess the up side (although small) is that its bike stuff

King George,

That's the point of it. We (heart) Capitalism as well, which is why we exercise our control of it. If we weren't able to turn it on, we wouldn't be able to turn it off. Thanks for the note.

Dear Corpo, Stevil, Sky, and other Swobos:

I commend your support of Buy Nothing Day, and in an ironic twist, urge you to buy one thing this Friday: a ticket to Reverend Billy's new movie What Would Jesus Buy? The Shopocalypse is upon us, and the good Reverend is a crusader for all that is good in the world. Smuggle in your own popcorn. Drink out of a hip flask. Don't buy anything except a ticket to WWJB this Friday.

Cheers,

Joe

Given the alternatives I have to say that I like capitalism a lot.
