Just when I thought there was no possible way to look at the economic crisis and laugh my ass off, I stumbled across this brilliant piece on McSweeney’s Internet Tendency by Jon Methven called “The Economic Crisis Hits The Markson Family Monopoly Board“.  Go there and read it now. 

While there you may want to check out this other fantastic gem by Colin Nissan “Diary Of A Woman Trapped Inside A Man’s Body Trapped Inside A Beaver’s Body” – hilarious.

Interestingly enough I must be a pretty big fan of Methven’s because I recognized the name and realized I’ve linked to his stories on McSweeney’s before…he’s got a style and sense of humor I just can’t get enough of.
