Just saw a post on the Occupy Wall Street site asking people to take some their efforts on OWS to use it on Black Friday.

Since it is usually one of the biggest shopping days of the year and a huge boon to major corporations like Walmart, who have been known to treat their workers unfairly, some are asking people to stay away from the malls on that day.
Granted, I've never been a fan of Black Friday, and on that day the only Black Friday activity I like is popping some Steely Dan on the stereo and watching news reports about silly riots over some hot gadget or toy. But in light of the OWS movement, this may be actually a good day to make yourself heard about the state of our country. There's even a Facebook page for this.
