Image of Black Friday

Love it or hate it, the holidays are around the corner, which means black friday is upon our doorstep as well. Personally I find black friday to be a headache, but my wife loves it. What can I say? I’m just not a big shopper, but if I must go shopping, I do love to find a good deal – who doesn’t?

Black friday 2008 ads won’t be out officially until Thanksgiving, but there are some websites that are giving sneak previews of black friday 2008 ads.

Some of the top sites with black friday 2008 ads include:

Bloggers and website owners of Black Friday 2008 sites are notorious for leaking information that retailers are trying to keep under wraps until Thanksgiving. But is it illegal to post Black Friday 2008 ads?

Some retailers like Walmart have threatened to press legal charges against sites that post Black Friday 2008 ads, before their approval. Employees who are caught providing information to black friday websites could be liable for breaching confidentiality agreements.
