Sort of obliquely related to your point, but when I was in Romania earlier this month they had "black Friday sale" ads (which also seemed to apply all month). "Which Friday might that be?" a Romanian would presumably wonder, having no Thanksgiving day as reference. But that need not matter anymore.
Every country has Black Friday except China, which has set up "Singles Day" sales at about the same time of year and is spreading this diabolical concept... Western values are being challenged!

"A Black Friday... of sorts" made me laugh out loud.
