No cash for gold bars? Go for gold bunnies: instant satisfaction (Swiss chocolate, Thoune storefront)

The headline reads “website offers emotional rescue from economy” and I was expecting Playboy bunnies or Easter bunnies or something else light and bouncy. It’s a nice gesture by the US government to help those who are sinking under the pressure of faltering economies. It points to danger signals, symptoms for depression, substance abuse and the other health concerns that crop up when life hands you a tough one. Here’s the site: http://www.samhsa.gov/economy/ with thanks to Reuters for pointing it out.

There must be some economic cheer-up sites out there, or if not, someone should get cracking and make one. A little more humour could do the trick. Closest I come is The Onion (“Getting randomly picked to make half-court shots now the best way to make a living”) and Private Eye (“Lookalike” – check them out!).
