One theory says that it is because of the extremely heavy traffic on the roads on this day. The wheels of the vehicles left a lot of black markings on the road surface, leading to the term Black Friday. http://www.vancouversun.com/technology/2272951.bin?size=620x400 Slide 10: The other theory is that it comes from an old-fashioned way of recording business accounts. Losses were recorded in red ink and profits in black ink. Many businesses, particularly small retail stores, only started making profits in the run up to Christmas. This theory does not apply to many large corporations, but may be a fact of life for smaller businesses. http://www.ionlinephilippines.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Black-Friday-2009-Walmart.jpg Slide 11: The events on Black Friday are often followed closely by the local media.
