Atlanta, November 6. Feeling the effects of poor public relations and its worst sales performance in years, it was recently reported by CNN that Wal-Mart would begin Black Friday early this season by lowering the prices of 10,000 items on November 5. “Black Friday” is traditionally the Friday after Thanksgiving and is considered the start of the holiday shopping season.

TalesOfWonder.com asks, “Is nothing sacred?”

We cannot stand idly by as this cathedral of consumption lays claim to one more piece of our community. “Black Friday” is for consumers to feast themselves at ALL stores, not just some retail juggernaut conveniently located within 10 miles in any direction. Therefore, we declare that we, TalesOfWonder.com, hereby slash prices on 1,000 products now through November 23.

Sure, they may have coffeemakers for $4.24, but we have Dark Knight Strikes Again statues for $39.99. They have printer/scanner/copiers for $39.88, but we have the Invincible Vol 1 Ultimate Collection for $18.39. Marvel and DC trade paperbacks at over 50% off. The entire Strangers In Paradise collection at 40% off.

“It’s time we stand up to Wal-Mart by shopping at TalesOfWonder.com,” affirmed Dan Druff, president of Hippies Against Wal-Mart at Oberlin College.

We ask you to join Tales of Wonder in our fight against Wal-Mart by enjoying our 1,000-product sale, now through November 23.
