That's just wrong.

Everyone knows that should have been "Attractive and Successful Holiday Shoppers".

I hate they we've become so politically correct, that we can't even call it "Kwanzaa" anymore.

Meh, seems like an innocent slip up to me. It would be a shame if someone lost their job over it.

Don't worry. Even if that happened, the position would be immediately filled with a "diverse" candidate. Zero-sum game, and all ...

Towson is just a few miles north of Baltimore City. There is no way in hell black people shopping anywhere around here is news! :-)

I'm guessing it was a simple omission - like "Black ~~Friday~~ Holiday Shoppers"

I guessing the obvious - the station is owned and operated by the KKK.

It's true. Nobody worships Frigg anymore, except when they're about to accidentally curse in front of Grandma.

Chyron??? Reminds me of half digested food that I've barfed up.

But that would be chyme.

So, the political correct version of "Friday" is now "holiday shoppers"? That's going to make things confusing.

This is the same station that still employs Gerry Sandusky. (new window)

Actually, I suspect it was more a deliberate slip by a rogue individual who thought it would be funny in his personal context of the world. Because if you look at the pic in TFA, there ain't a lot of slack-jawed crackers standing around...

Well, technically it was a correct chyron, based on what is on the screen.

If anyone has a problem with the word black, maybe you should try to change the day to "profit Friday" or "revenue Friday"

They named it because you get such great deals, it's like stealing.

Hence, Black Friday...
