I'd rather be at home...

As an international watching american friends head off to do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_adgG8Ba2Q at black friday sales, I noticed a few things:
1. Companies should find a way to make sure their ads are not placed before videos titled "crazy black Friday fights compilation"
2. I would much prefer to be one of the couch shoppers that now spend over a billion dollars in a day http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/black-friday-billions-12-billion-in-desktop-e-commerce-spending-marks-first-billion-dollar-online-shopping-day-of-the-2013-holiday-season-233993521.html helped along by sites such as these: http://www.theblackfriday.com/
3. I love Amazon, and I use them to shop all the time, but they definitely cross the line to becoming spammers over the thanksgiving weekend - make them stop!

Happy thanksgiving to everyone, and happy black friday marketing.
