Video: Every Breath Bernanke Takes. Hilarious!

February 29th, 2008 · No Comments

This is FUNNY! There’s nothing more laughter inducing like a parody of today’s economy. Wait, it’s not a parody if it’s true, right? Columbia Business School made this, that’s what the CBS mean (I didn’t get that).
Watch it, if you’ve been following the economic condition, this will make you ROTFL. Haha.

February 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

Well, for a 3rd world country, and a country that has gone through horror, Cambodia is doing really well on the tourism industry. Whoever heard about e-visa? Before my trip, I never did.
Plane e-tickets, concert e-tickets, yeah sure. But e-visa? That’s really genius-ity!
It costs $20 for a normal tourist visa, but it’s $25 for the […]

How does the economy work? Explained in a comic form!

February 23rd, 2008 · 2 Comments

How I found this: Ron Paul -> Ron Paul Forums -> Peter Schiff -> Irwin Schiff
I have never heard of Irwin Schiff before, but he’s amazing! This comic about the economy taught me about how the economy really works, more than the 4 years I spent in college (not the fact that I’m proud of).
This […]

Ho ho ho! LOL. This comic is the funniest thing. I saw it from one of the readers emails at jsmineset.com. If you’re still confused about the whole subprime debacle, this comic will clear it up. Thank you to whoever made this! (Update: This was created by Ernest Hancock, the original is here)
