Throughout history, many unusual events have occured on Black Friday:

In contrast to all the horrors that have plagued the Friday immediately following Thanksgiving Day, contemporary Black Fridays symbolize the point in the year that retailers start making net profits.  Because profits are denoted in accounting by Black, and deficits by Red, it follows that this day be called Black Friday.  With all this having been said, expect to see many different sales ads, like Best Buy, CompUSA, Sears, Target, JCPenney, Walmart, etc., for Black Friday 2007.

They’ve updated their original entry to add a list of lesser-known but linkable gamer-babes, so go check it out. Personally, I’ve always thought that to the intense-nerd-gamer, any female gamer would appear very hot…

Until January 14th, you can get $10 off any purchase of at least $40 if you use your Mastercard at Barnes & Noble and the coupon code L3D4H9G.  Happy Holidays!

Bethesda recently developed some add-on content for their huge Xbox 360 RPG, Oblivion, and have put it up on the Xbox Live Marketplace for free under the name “Mehrunes Razor.”  Mehrunes Razor used to cost 250 pts, but because of the festive spirits of Bethesda, Oblivion owners can obtain this expansion for free.  Be warned, the pack will only be available free until December 31st, so hop on this deal!  Here’s the game-description from Major Nelson (via YouNEWB):

The lost Ayleid City Varsa Baalim has been unearthed by a rogue Telvanni arch-mage, in pursuit of a fearsome Daedric Artifact, Mehrunes Razor, which he believes will give him the power he needs to topple the Imperial reign – but what horrors lie in wait beneath the Valus mountains; and can you overcome them to claim Mehrunes Razor as your own?

Throughout history, many happenings have occured on a Black Friday:

Despite all these horrors that have occured on the Friday immediately following Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday is also considered to be the point in the year at which retailers no longer have losses, but instead are beggining to take in the profits.  Because profits are denoted in accounting by Black, and deficits by Red, it follows that this day be called Black Friday.  With all this having been said, expect to see many different sales ads, like Best Buy, CompUSA, Sears, Target, JCPenney, Walmart, etc., for Black Friday.
