So apparently Bernie's Black Friday event has started on Thursday, just like every Black Friday sale in the US these days. Because nothing says Thanksgiving like demanding retail workers sacrifice their Holiday with their family like coming in to work.
If you somehow have missed out on what is going on, check out Bernie's Post Bernie Black Frieday. I gave it a full upvote for the entertainment value.
So what does #bernieblackfriday remind me of? Anyone else remember the old commercial "What would you dooooo for a Klondike Bar?"? Yeah... that's how this feels.
If you aren't familiar with the commercials, the premise was that regular people would do crazy stupid things in order to be given a block of ice cream covered in chocolate. Let's do something crazy stupid for an upvote.
Now, I think this can be a lot of fun, and if taken as an experiment in having a good time, writing a silly post, then I am all for it. But if people really think Bernie is going to make them Steem famous because they posted to his tag, I think maybe you are a little bit delusional.
The first upvote our friend the Burn gave out in relation to this tag was a 0% upvote. Hahaha!
Even at 100% unless he follows with his other accounts, you are looking at a $0.38 upvote. And I don't recall Bernie promising not to come back around with flags later. Would we put it past him? I honestly think it fits his sense of humor to a T.
Participate if you want to. The circle jerk could be a lot of fun, and it will be a tag worthy of following. Let's see what Steem is willing to do for a Klondike Bar.
I just hope that first bite of the Bern is extra tasty and doesn't leave a sour after taste in your mouth.
Enjoy!!!
