Memorial Day retail sales:

Memorial Day is one holiday that tends to have retailers promoting various "Sell-a-brations", but this year the advertising seems to be muted. Sure, there is the occasional Ford automobile commercial, but other than that, not much.

Have retailers determined that, given comsumer sentiment and high gasoline prices, it's not worth spending a whole lot on advertising?
