Economic Tips

The economy is in a downward spiral. We know this. It blows. But if we're lucky, we'll all die (due to a series of brutal catastrophic events that will end the world) by 2012 before we consider eating our own families.

It's a great way to stay fashionable in these ugly economic times.
