The last pic is so lazily photoshopped that the series would be better without it. Otherwise it's funny.
American Eagle puts names and jobs to the faces of their models. I shop there, but still think it's hilarious how many stereotypes this guy fills:

Is this a hipster joke?
if not, then what?
Exactly what this is. But it's one of the models from AE's website.Quote:

Yeah it is kind of racist how we call it "black" Friday. Why it gotta be black??
Because it has people acting like animals? :3
My cousin's returning to the States this year for Black Friday for some deals and to watch humanity crumble; last year some woman used her pepper spray in a crowd of people for an XBOX or PS3 at a Best Buy (I think).Quote:

But your reason is much more believable.
Thing is, even before the advent of BF, companies did great during the holiday shopping season leading up to Christmas. With all the deals on BF through cyber-Monday now, they're making money on volume, but less money than they could on markup.
Chuunibyou exists in every culture I guess.
Yeah, it's freakin' awesome!
damn archie, this week was already pretty much just a flashback to six years ago..
I make it a point to never pay full retail price for anything but I also prefer stress-free shopping experiencing. Most people at Costco are bad enough, and even then I've left quickly because I was too disgusted with their behaviour and because I get anxiety from overcrowded places.Quote:
