First, the best online deals were on Friday. The suckers fell for it again...
Second, "Cyber Monday" is as clunky a name for a shopping day I can imagine. At least Black Friday has a fun, mysterious ring to it. With all the money that goes in to convincing people to spend money, some intern somewhere should be able to coin a better name.
