The Great Tragedy

The Panic of 2008 is going to be in the history books. It is going to challenge us severely in the years ahead. But there is something worse. Something much more troubling.

And that, dear reader, is the looming dearth of refrigerator magnets.

With the economy shrinking, fewer businesses will have the capital to create advertisement in sticky-thing form; they will be forced to spend on advertising that's actually effective. This means no more free magnets clinging to our refrigerators, loudly touting the superiority of Don's Muffler Service while holding up our childrens' art projects.

The side effect, of course, is that we will forget what our childrens' art projects are like at all, with no way to keep them visible on our refrigerators there will be no way to see them.

An entire generation's creative side is going to be lost in it's infancy.
