"On November 26, 2014, a sponsored link appeared on the Reddit sub-reddit "Tapped Out", seemingly from EA, reading "Hey Redditors! The true season of shopping- er, giving will start this weekend in The Simpsons: Tapped Out with our Black Friday Promotions, running every hour, all weekend long! All the fun of Black Friday without any of the being crushed to death!" implying there will be deals and promotions of items on Black Friday, November 28, 2014. [1]
On November 27, 2014, Thanksgiving, a 13.8MB in-game update was installed, adding the Black Friday deals.
The Black Friday deals launch on November 28, 2014 at 8am GMT. There will be a donut deal/"rebate" on Black Friday, and an offer to buy the Truckasaurus for Donut Tapped Out.png225 on Cyber Monday."
:shock:
From Marge and the Monorail:
"Homer watches a television advert for ``Truckasaurus: The Movie'',
starring Marlon Brando as John Truckasaurus (celebrity voice impersonated).
Then follows an ad (using somebody who looks startlingly like Homer as
a demonstration) recruiting people to become monorail conductors.
Homer decides that being a monorail conductor was his life-long dream."
Could this lead up to the monorail finally?
Probably not until after Christmas
I agree with you that Black Friday is largely a big business conception and promotion. However, the small, local, businesses get in on all the action as well. It is more a giant holiday of consumerism and capitalism, not just big business.
