O_O

cheap crap for $400 Vizio 4k just under $1000 might be okay but not Chongchong.. something smells?? yeah Fire. They killed black friday. Now I'd rather work on Thanksgiving and later on Christmas day but not Christmas eve/morning. Make some darn good money on Thanksgiving but from a biz point of view killing black friday is moronic.
