ABOUT THIS BLOG
Why a Pony? To be clear, there were no ponies harmed in the making of this blog. The blog’s name, “There Must Be a Pony In Here Somewhere,” comes from an old joke, a favorite of Ronald Reagan’s, that essentially means, with a pile of you-know-what this big, there MUST be a pony—a bright side—in here somewhere!

Hold Bernanke, Paulson Accountable—Literally
Who do you hold responsible for the economic mess we're in — Paulson? Bernanke? Greenspan?
 |
CreativeFeed Sometimes this recession makes me so mad, I could just squeeze a banker! |
Well, now you can hold them accountable — literally — with the Squeeze the Banker line of stress dolls from boutique agency CreativeFeed.
"We thought that a stress ball in the shape of the principal icons of our financial system was a funny (and maybe healthy) way of facing the strain we are all under," said Arthur Ceria, CreativeFeed's founder. "These stress dolls are a symbolic effort at turning the tables on what for most of us is a source of considerable strain," he said.
So go ahead. Squeeze Paulson. Shake Bernanke. Yell at Greenspan and tell him it's all his fault. Or do all three at the same time!
CreativeFeed offers a few more reasons to buy the dolls:
1) Guaranteed to raise employee morale.
2) They're cheaper than Prozac.
3) Each one was crash-tested on Wall Street.
Of course, CreativeFeed knows the economic downturn is serious business with serious effects on people's lives, so they're donating a portion of sales from each doll to a group called Modest Needs, which helps low-income households.
Pony Treats:
- Whine it out. If you've still got some residual stress after all that squeezing and hugging it out isn't your thing, head over to the SecretSpinelessWhine blog and let it out. Let it all out.
- Dr. Seuss it out. To be absolved of your recession sins, give me three recitations of this Seussian Good Bank, Bad Bank tale, compliments of the Reformed Broker, and an act of contrition.
