"Cyber Monday" Expected To Draw Virtual Crowds

Posted by Soulskill on from the like-black-friday-but-with-fewer-deaths dept.

Anti-Globalism writes with this excerpt from PCWorld: "Last year, consumers spent $733 million on Cyber Monday, and it's expected to be even bigger this year. According to a survey by online shopping site Shopzilla for the National Retail Federation's Shop.org, nearly 84 percent of online retailers plan to have a Cyber Monday promotion on December 1. That's up from just 72 percent last year and zero percent in 2005, says Shop.org executive director Scott Silverman."

  1. We are different by Simonetta · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We are different... we make software out of nothing. Then we give it away. We take the other software that our peers have written. We use this software to improve the real things in our lives. Our children live better because we do this. Your children live better because we do this.

    They are different from us. They fly in corporate jets to world financial capitals in order to beg for billions of our dollars from the public treasury to cover their incredibly irresponsible and maleficent behavior and decisions. Under their system of economic governance, when they mess up on a scale like this, then they are supposed to go under and live in cardboard boxes under the highway. Not us.

    Now they tell us that things will get bad if we don't buy their junk mediocre products. As if our lives depend on their sales of Saturn cars, Cheetos, and salad shooters.

    Well, fuck them. Yes, we are different. They need us: we don't need them.

    By the way, if they fucked up so badly that they have to have a trillion dollars of the public funds to correct their mistakes, then why are we still being forced to take urine tests?
