Media and the Credit Crunch

As the economy disappears down the shitter quicker than dinner in a dysentery ward, we can be sure that the world media are focusing on the right stories. This, for example, is essential stuff that everyone must know.

But it is not all hairy lipped hearthrobs. The Daily Mail, with customary disregard for reality, is offering some *meaningful* tips on how to deal with the Credit Crunch and after you have watched your savings disappear into the abyss. Tip 2 made me wide-eyed with incredulity:

On your walk in the park, why not watch children play their impromptu football games? It's often more entertaining than their professional counterparts. And you'll never see a bad or violent tackle.

So, that's The Daily Mail - one of the most hysterical papers in the country, saying you should stare at kids in the park. Normally such behaviour would have a tabloid journalist hunting you down like a dog and burning "PAEDO" into your head with a red hot branding iron. Because the banks are having a bit of a shitty time, suddenly staring at kids in the park has become, in the compellingly demented world of The Mail, "ok". Because, you know, it is free.

I always knew that The Daily Mail would have a complete breakdown and disappear into its own hate filled arsehole; I never thought it would be over tips to survive the Credit Crunch.
