you know what’s funny? hot friday.
hot friday, luke? well what in the wide world of sports is that?
i’m glad you asked, luke. ‘hot friday’ is apparently the new name for black friday (the day after thanksgiving).
possible reasons for this.
-black friday sounds like the black plague, and that’s no fun.
-black friday doesn’t seem to encourage consumers to purchase things
-black friday also could refer back to black monday, the day the stock market crashed and caused the great depression... with the stock market as it is nowadays we probably want to stray away from any and all references to said time.
-black friday is no longer acceptable because our president is black (barry!!) (!!)
whatever the reason, i’m not a fan. well, i’m a fan of our new president elect! but other than that, no.
because! because black friday isn’t a negative thing at all! it’s called that because businesses on that day are pretty much always in the black, and that’s a good thing! cause they’re not in the red! and i like it because it does have that ‘dread’ sort of feel to it, and having a job in retail, i can strongly appreciate that aspect of the name.
i swear there are some videos coming sometime.

...are you kidding me? Black Friday is a day of dread for all employees in retail. It is a day that the stores are flooded with assholes trying to pay 50% off of things they don't really need and then the scramble for gift cards...yeah, it is an evil day.
The only reason I think 'hot Friday' could even be remotely appropriate is if one considers the fact that all of those shoppers in a confined environment in their winter clothes causes overheating.
