The reason Black Friday is a whole week plus a Monday, is due to how many people have died as a result.  Look up Black Friday on youtube.  Watch stampedes, people fighting each other, and several other scammy things.  They used to do things like the first 100 people get this deal or something like that.  After several law suits they then started making people line up and then fights broke out.  

Eventually they decided that just trying to have enough for everyone and putting a stop to the limited deals crap was the only solution.  Its not so bad anymore.
