You Had Me at Hello

If we're being honest with one another, we've been in holiday savings mode since shortly after Labor Day.

Of course, with so many operations and establishments joining in the Black Friday celebrations (it's a miracle we don't have greeting cards for this, available (of course) at knockdown prices), what's really newsworthy about this holiday season is who else, next, will clamber aboard the BFB, Black Friday Bandwagon. 

Quest Labs would like a word. "Gobble up these savings." 

Stan Freberg would blush at the tasteless tackiness of the promotion, except, of course, hucksterism is as American as apple pie and this time of year every time there's a holiday promotional tie-in, an angel kills a reindeer. 

Operators standing by but have your credit card ready.
