Cyber Monday is Fake Computers

I tried to warn people last year, but apparently, no one listened.  Cyber Monday is fake.  It's not real.  It's just a made up event to try to promote sales.

The term Cyber Monday is only two years old.  It's supposed to be the biggest online shopping day of the year, but in those two years it hasn't been.  The media, once again, perpetuates a story without verifying it.  More lazy reporters.

For the record, Black Friday is also not the biggest shopping day of the year either, but at least it is an real big with (theoretically) big sales.  Much of it is "bait and switch" but there are some savings, if you don't find your own time valuable and don't mind getting trampled or waiting in ridiculously long checkout lines.
