The only way to tell if something in the news is important is if it affects something you wouldn't expect. In the past few days, we have found, and will continue to find, just how much the current failing economy literally affects everything.
What started out a couple banks coming up short is now spreading even further then we may have imagined.
Who would have thought that during the season of The Office where Pam and Jim finally get engaged would be the season that NBC posts its worst quarters in years? NBC Chief Executive Jeff Zucker has even announced plans to scale back programming and start Leno at 10:00 PM so they don't have to be on as long each day.
Much of this is due to a great decrease in advertising revenue, particularly from the (surprise surprise) auto sector.
Yes the economy is affecting more and more every day, from the New York Times to Czechoslovakian whores. Big Sister, Prague's world famous internet brothel, has experienced a 15% drop in sales from sex tourism as has Artemis, the largest whorehouse in Germany.
"An Austrian farmer from a remote area who is not married will still cross the border to the Czech Republic looking for sex," Halana Malinova, director of a prostitute outreach program, said. "On the other hand, the recession is helping to keep husbands at home who might otherwise be cheating on their wives."
Good god. If Jay Leno and hookers aren't safe, who is?
