I took Thanksgiving off from the blog, it being Thanksgiving, and there wasn't a lot of movement on the hot list since my last post on Tuesday; just the same topics jockeying about. However, today there's several new ones, most of them variations on "Black Friday". Black Friday is, of course, the colloquialism for the first day after Thanksgiving, traditionally considered the first day of the Christmas shopping season, although these days that starts around the middle of October now. Black Friday first started showing up back on November 4th, but the term has been increasingly prominent and appearing in more variations over the past week or so. Best Buy, the electronics retailer, is the first name to pop up; not surprising as their portfolio likely matches best with the interests of internetoholics.
Turkey and the Food Network no doubt both pop up because of Thanksgiving itself and its tradition of gorging ourselves on turkey and other such foods. Although it's now after the fact, I recommend brining your turkey; Alton Brown has a good recipe.
The odd one out (that is, a topic not apparently related to Thanksgiving) is Nicki Minaj, apparently a pink-haired rapper from either Jamaica or Queens. (The pink hair is apparently a wig.) The only interesting thing about her that she seems to be claiming to be bisexual in order to get media attention (or appear sexier) then subsequently denying that she's bisexual to avoid controversy. Most of her gossip-rag media attention (other than the present week, which appears related to an album release) seems centered on speculation about her orientation. The consensus appears to be that she's a "fauxmosexual": fundamentally straight, but willing to act otherwise because that creates buzz and sells records. Whatever; I've already learned way more about this whole cluster of concepts than I ever cared to.
