Sep. 29th, 2008 02:53 pmAccording to CNBC, the financial crisis can be summed up as this - people eating too many hamburgers instead of sushi!* (AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS COMPLICATED, DIDN'T YOU?)
I cannot believe I have to listen to these idiots all day, on top of every-fucking-thing else.
* announcer [trying to describe the reluctance of people to put money in banks]: It is like no one wants to eat sushi, and the Fed is trying to convince them to eat sushi!
announcer [40 minutes later, trying to describe why the bailout should pass]: when someone gets a heart attack from eating too many hamburgers, you treat them first, you don't tell them that they shouldn't have eaten hamburgers!
