Ad Campaign Wants You To Think Positive During Recession

For one thing it's a depression, not a recession, and it's going to be far worse than most people realize. So I'm positive these asinine billboards won't be long for this world.

Recession 101

"Amid ominous economic forecasts and repeated bleak reports about America's financial future, messages of hope can be hard to come by.
One advertising campaign, dubbed "Recession 101," has hit the nation's roadsides with an array of slogans aimed at getting people to think optimistically during the recession.
The economic "lessons," which include such catchphrases such as "self worth beats net worth," and "stop obsessing about the economy, you're scaring the children," started going up in May and now number around 2,000 postings across the country, according to Jeff Golimowski of the Outdoor Advertising Association of America

Another example, anon, of propagandists thinking cheap emotionality and how things look will trump reality. Unfortunately Mr. Change has continued the Bushista paradigm.
