Hey Belly,
"yesterday was red Monday! we comrades celebrated the take over of Victoria".

I'm going to pretend you didn't say that;
- Lest I subconsciously start hoping for another Black Friday to cleanse your state and purge it of all foreign and progressive influence.

The ANZAC holiday is taken by Yanks and Google as a US Victory.
"In a letter to her mother dated November 28, 1942, a young unnamed Australian woman married to an American described the “frightful” riot that became known as “The Battle Of Brisbane”. ... At the time, thousands of American soldiers were stationed across Australia,."

Hi Comrade Belly,

No I didn't miss out, I picked up a personally autographed photo of our fearless leader Uncle Joe for only 10 million rubles, which is worth about 2 cents Aussie. It reads; "Having, great time on holidays in Stalingrad, dated Xmas 1942!" P/S "Not sending Adolf a Chrissy present this year, the dirty stinker!" Better late than never.

Also got an Email from the gang down at the Kremlin, it reads: "Congrats comrades on glorious Communists victory in Australia on Saturday! Australia Saturday, the rest of the world next week.
Love and kisses on both cheeks from Vlad, Leon, Joe and all the Lads at party HQ in Moscow. P/S "How is Comrade Bill doing in Aussie Capital? Next year we rename Aussie Capital, Shortengrad in honour of Comrade Bill, after big victory in Aussie Revolution.

//Did our naming of Black Friday come first and is Google incorrect?//

No.

//Does the name belong to us and our national tragedy//

No, it belongs to the Scots and one of their (many) national tragedies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyemouth_disaster

Or the Yanks, and their stock market crash.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_Crash_of_1929

Or indeed, to any nation that has ever had some tragedy befall it on a Friday.

//Finally what happens if Google commandeers our holidays?//

It will make a nice change from Hallmark doing it?

I dunno, mate, you're the one who likes playing with your crystal balls. Why don't you tell us, because we're all dying to know. No, really.

//Could they not hypothetically also turn 'ANZAC Day' into a US retail sales holiday as well?//

I very much doubt it; it would be about as effective as trying to convince Australians to go shopping to celebrate the Boston Tea Party or Guy Fawke's Day or Bastille Day or something.... it's their history, not ours, so nobody cares.
