the horror.... lol

Ok, so every third article everywhere right now is about the recession/depression whatever, and how to be thrifty, crafty and wise, so there's a LOT of terrible ideas floating around, but this might be the worst.
From the crackpots at CNN, offering suggestions for budget holiday decorating comes this shocker:
"Tree topper
Crown your tree with this fun topper: Just ball up aluminum foil and weave silver ribbon in and out of the foil."

Sadly, there was no accompanying picture. One can only dream of it.
