An Open Letter to Every Single Type of Media

Dear Media,

Okay. We get it. The economy sucks. People are losing jobs, companies are going out of business, foreclosed houses are everywhere; democrats are blaming it on republicans and republicans on democrats. It's Bush's fault. It's Obama's fault. It's the fault of the banks--no, it's the fault of the consumers for buying what they can't afford.

And now all the other media outlets (advertising, movies, etc) have also jumped on the bandwagon and are reminding us constantly that the economy is in the toilet with their new, lower prices or their somber movies or their happy movies.

Sigh.

The reason I'm writing this letter is that I have an idea. It's a simple one that will only last 24 hours. Here goes:

On July 6, I think every single media outlet or type of mass communication should implement a moratorium on talking about the economy. Don't say anything about stocks, unemployment or bailouts. Don't even advertise "new, lower prices" on products for sale. Don't tell us about a great deal on a new car because the economy is bad. We don't want to hear it. Give us 24 blissful hours of escapism. Twenty-four hours of stress-free lives that will harken back to the good ol' days of summer 2008.

I think we could all use the break.

Yours sincerely,
Tiffany
