A black Friday Best Buy ad is getting blasted this Thanksgiving.
It includes a nod to the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha, which is celebrated this weekend.
That has angered some customers, who point out that Best Buy stopped using "Merry Christmas" in its ads in 2006 and replaced it with "Happy Holidays."
Best Buy is trying to curb any controversy saying that this year’s ads will feature several different holidays, including Christmas.
