Walmart says they will unveil the "Black Friday" ad online this Thursday, at http://www.walmart.com/secret, so get your wallets out and cancel your plans.
Don't expect the store to be appropriately Thanksgiving-themed either, says Walmart in a press release:
In-store, the experience for Wal-Mart shoppers will be fittingly festive. Christmas Shops offering holiday decor and gifts and onsite product demonstrations open this weekend.
No time to give thanks, people. Start shopping!

@KingPsyz: Then the bastards will get nothing from me.
]]>You can't deny, a name brand 50" Plasma for under 1k is pretty incredible.
Not to mention half off on the newly discounted HD-DVD player (which thanks to this ad Best Buy price matched a day early!)
Should Christmas and the holliday season be about family and togetherness? Yes. Do the reciepients of cards and homemade crap think your one person war on Christmas™ is noble and grand? No, they think you're a cheap douchebag. Sucks, but search your feelings, you know this to be true.
]]>This advertising ploy will probably backfire. I think Black Friday is unique because most people (except store employees) usually have the day off and the tradition is to go shopping. Making every Friday "Black" will dilute the one day of frenzied shopping a year. I just want to say that while most Wal-marts can be stressfull and unfriendly to shop at, the Wal-mart nearest me is actually really nice--the employees are very friendly, it's not crowded, and the place is really clean. However, what I like about it is probably bad news to Wal-mart. Overall I shop more at Target because it's closer and I get my prescriptions at Target, but both Target and Wal-mart near me are actually really good.
]]>that said, this is retarded, and walmart, i hate you.
]]>Stevied... I'm with you. I think the people that complain and whine about WallyWorld are closet shoppers. Come out of the closet HUMPHRMI!
]]>Perhaps if the crew tried to return to the core values of Sam Walton the program could be fixed, but I don;t see that happening anytime soon.
]]>I go to Wal-mart once in a great while, usually it's to buy toys or socks or underwear for my kids. I usually hate shopping there because it is filled with rude customers and even ruder employees and the store always look tore up. Oh yeah, with as much money they make can Wal-mart at least pay their employees better?
]]>Trailer Trash?
I have never lived in a Trailer, have no desire to live in a Trailer, but I have shopped at WallyWorld more than once.
SO what does that make me?
Actually I must wonder, with all the complaining and whining about WallyWorld, there sure must be a lot of people that secretly visit WallyWorld.
]]>As long as I have my Sirius radio and don't have to listen to Xmas music, I really couldn't give a crap what Walmart does.
When will people figure out that a good deal on garbage isn't a good deal?
]]>@bohemian: Since when do unwashed masses carry cash? It's plastic all the way, baby.
]]>That ham looks totally cool and awesome!
]]>I love wal mart! It's so cool and awesome!
]]>The one tomorrow will be a non-event. No TV ads so far, no pre-promotion and most people have to work tomorrow.
Stupid.
]]>Many retailers have already put up the Christmas crap which gets earlier every year.
Walmart will get people to buy early because I'm sure there are going to be discounts too good to resist, especially if you are already there anyway, shopping for something else.
]]>Walmart: Forcibly, and unapologetically.
]]>@Bay State Darren: It's not Thursday yet?
]]>The new human decency is not getting your loved ones crap from Wal-Mart that no one likes.
