Black Friday

Black Friday is the most well known day besides national holidays.  Most people go just to watch others because its so crazy, an the others spend nights outside of stores, or wait in ridiculously long lines for certain sales, so why is this kind of madness only occurring the day after Thanksgiving.  The answer is because companies like Best buy, and Toys R' Us create so many different types of posters and other ways of publicizing for Black Friday making it seem way more exciting then it really is.  This helps companies sell so much more than they intend to, which allows them to sell products at lower prices.  As for Black Friday itself its turned into a tradition to buy stuff after thanksgiving, knowing that its going to be so busy and it would maybe seem logical to go another day for the same deals or sales, but so many people go, that its almost turned into a holiday.
