I believe it is the day following Thanksgiving. Or it may the the following day. I believe that it is sponsored by adbusters.com. Down with mindless consumerism. Make life more about ideas rather than things.

Really wont make a difference. Time is precious. People ready to start Christmas/holiday shopping will do it on their own time table.
I know what I'll be doing this Friday...avoiding crowded stores and shopping online.

I'm not sure it's such a good idea. The ideology is right but when you think of all the small businesses it will hurt then I don't agree with it. How about a Buy Nothing from the Big Conglomerates Day? But support the little guys.

I think it's a great idea, but the vast majority of the brainwashed masses will diligently begin shopping on that day, like lemmings, thinking that the meaning of Christmas is to buy the biggest, bestest, most expensive THINGS they can find.

Great idea. Anything that gets people to think - even if they end up thinking that buy nothing day is stoopid - is good by me. It's actually much more difficult than you realise to buy nothing, actually. Wonder why!
