News of the economy is just depressing. As domestic and international financial markets take tumble after tumble, I find it harder to resist the urge to tune out the news. There’s a particular animal cited in situations like this: Bear. Good when followed by “force1“, bad when, as is currently the case, the next word is “market“. I finally understand what Stephen Colbert has against the lumbering creatures.
Look, media, maybe you should just collectively lay off any stories with the slightest mention of animals, metaphorical or not. I’m kind of soured on the whole furry business right n… wait, what’s this? “Owning ferrets can be like having “‘permanent kittens’“? Permanent kittens? Oh, the cuteness of the title alone is enough to win me over! All is well as long as there is an endless supply of pictures of cute animals to look at. In fact, that may be key to slowing down the market’s free-fall. If traders are squeeing at frolicking red pandas instead of questioning the Federal Reserve’s every move, the self-fulfilling negative trend can be bucked.
It’s no less than our patriotic duty to get the ball rolling:
More (not-Ferret-y) cuteness after the jump:
Crisis averted.
