A Black Friday that, more Black than that ... you die.

Black Friday is a whole day dedicated to discounts, born in America to celebrate the day after Thanksgiving and inaugurate shopping for Christmas.

It is not the same situation for the rest of the world, the fact is that yet another “american style” has invaded the entire planet.

Mainly we can see it as a day to break the daily monotony, in a period of time that goes from the end of the summer holidays to the beginning of Christmas.

A sort of outburst therefore.

On the American front it is useful to recover from Thanksgiving, a whole day in which you are forced to bear relatives between food, football and often useless conversations, while for the rest of the planet is a day that breaks the depression, given by everyday life work and the weather gloomy.

Starting from the big ones like Amazon and Yoox, passing through the most famous fashion brands that you find also on Shopenauer, up to local retailers, all but all of them adhere to more or less high discounts.

In any case from the point of retailers this is a way like any other to awaken the consumer, create hype, and increase the desire to spend and spread especially if there is no need. Well you say, there is, it is just another marketing operation.

Yes, if it were not that this has generated a phenomenon, a little bit particular, which sees as a protagonist a retailer who has decided to join the Black Friday offer, to offer the public a discount for…

… drum roll and hand on jewels …

your own FUNERAL!

Well yes. A funeral agency in Cologno Monzese (province of Milan) proposed a discount (equal to 20%) on the funeral of the “elegant” package. Ah, I forgot, cremation is included.

But not only, the company, announcing the offer, has to point out an aspect not at all irrelevant: “You can buy the package in advance”.
On the poster that promotes the discount, in fact, the sentence reads:

“Buy your discounted funeral today and die whenever you want.”

And to think that until today, for every pussy shoe bought on a two-dollar balance, I have always said: “oh, now I can peacefully die!”.

Ok, if you have finished reading, I let you go to buy all the stuff on sale you want, BUT KNOW THAT NOW, you will never die happy if you do not have the coffin bought by yourself.

So dear fashionistas, I’m waiting for you all at the next fashion shows, in street-style mode with your luxury purchase discounted Black Friday. Do not disappoint me.
