The Anti-Establishment Black Friday Hater

Baa baa black sheep. The Anti-Establishment Haters despise the institution of Black Friday. To these haters, you're not shopping, you're reinforcing the corporate-controlled status quo. We chose Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor to represent this, the loudest group of Black Friday detesters; they'll probably hate us for it. [Yahoo! Shopping]

The Patriotic Black Friday Hater

No one loves America more than these Black Friday loathers (with the possible exception of muppet Sam the Eagle). These haters are incensed that Black Friday may be eclipsing the truly American holiday of Thanksgiving. They feel it's their patriotic duty to explain that shopping is just not what the pilgrims and forefathers had in mind. [MSN Money]

The Black Friday Hater That Has No Idea What Black Friday Is

These clueless commenters are pretty sure they've heard about Black Friday. It's a post-Thanksgiving party, right? Or maybe it's some kind of new club? To be fair, they don't really hate Black Friday; they just don't understand it. We chose fun-loving celebutante Paris Hilton to represent these well-meaning Black Friday dissenters — you've got the same chance of seeing her on Black Friday as any one of these haters.

The Conspiracy-Concocting Black Friday Hater

SERIOUSLY GUYS, "BLACK FRIDAY" IS THE CODENAME OF A SECRET RUSSIAN MISSION TO MARS. EVERY DOLLAR YOU SPEND PUTS ANOTHER COMMUNIST IN SPACE. Bless these haters' hearts, their conspiracy theories are nearly as entertaining as they are insane. Like the senility-laden musings of Abe Simpson, the comments left by these Black Friday dissidents are caps-lock-fueled rants that probably won't dissuade you from shopping, but will surely make you giggle.

Not to be confused with the Anti-Establishment Hater, these Black Friday non-participants shun shopping because it's just stuff, man.

[DailyFinance]

The Condescending Black Friday Hater

The musings of these Black Friday agitators aren't hard to spot; like so much text that accompanies Willy Wonka's photo on the Internet, their words are often dripping with biting sarcasm. Their caustic attitude makes interpreting and understanding their hatred difficult, though. Ask any of these haters why Black Friday has earned their ire, and they're likely to say it has something to do with your face. [Time]

The Black Friday Hater Formerly Known As "Black Friday Lover"

Paradoxically, "I used to love Black Friday" is a popular sentiment among Black Friday haters.
