Travis Thomas launches RAK Friday, asking people to perform 2,015 random acts of kindness on Black Friday 2015 and share them online. The goal is to flip the commercial shopping day into one focused on goodwill instead.
Hello.
Can we hear— can you hear the truck in the background?
Just go.
Hello everyone, my name is Travis Thomas. Welcome to RAK Friday. RAK stands for Random Acts of Kindness. Friday is November 27th, the day after Thanksgiving here in the United States, typically known as Black Friday, and we want to turn it into RAK Friday by people performing 2,015 random acts of kindness and then posting them and letting people know, thus transforming Black Friday into RAK Friday. What? For Oprah? Shoot it as if I'm sending it to Oprah.
Okay. Happy Rack Friday, everyone! You're getting racked and you're getting racked and you're getting racked. Everybody's getting racked!
Ah, sorry. Sorry, Oprah. For Ellen? Yeah, she would totally be about Rack Friday.
I get it.
But what would I do for Ellen?
Bye bye bye.
Bye bye bye bye bye bye. Okay, we're good now? Obama? President Obama? Oh, Michelle. Michelle Obama. What? Random Acts of Kindness has nothing to do with fitness. Okay, I'll do it. 27, 28, 29, 30. Trump? He absolutely would care nothing about Random Acts of Kindness. So there you have it. I think we have all of our bases covered. Word. I wanna send a special thank you out to our friends at the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, all the RACTivists out there. Again, we're shooting for 2,015 random acts of kindness posted on Friday, November 27th. Giving up a parking space, holding a door, buying a cup of coffee, anything that can be done. Putting little encouragement notes on windshield wipers. There's so much that you can do, but when you do it, please come back. Post it on our Facebook page, share it on social media, #RackFriday. We're gonna be Right there. And by the way, at the very least, if you don't plan on doing anything, if you're an apathetic sucker who isn't gonna do a darn thing, at least share the video. Can you share this video? Can you post it on your Facebook page? Can you tweet it? Can you Instagram it? Can you Vine it? Can you Foursquare it? Is Foursquare even a thing? Or is that another game that you play as a child? What else is there? Can you Snapchat it? Can you Snapchat it with your clothes on? Leave your clothes on when you Snapchat it? What else is there? You can MySpace it. Does MySpace even exist? Don't MySpace it. Those people are probably dead. You can send smoke signals up into the air. What is that? The Morse code beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep, which was please help us out the Rack Friday. Teenagers do the texting. You can do pen and paper hashtag pound sign for you older people. If you're not going to do anything, maybe other people will do something for you, and you can feel good about yourself when you go to bed at night. Because that's what it's all about, isn't it? Happy Rack Friday, everyone. Help us transform Black Friday into Rack Friday. Have a great day.
