The cause of the financial crisis

The face that crashed a thousand banks

At 9:00am US time (Midnight Australian time):


"Australian singer Delta Goodrem, who is on a promotional tour in the US, rang the opening bell [at the New York Stock Exchange]..." (Source: Herald Sun)




At 2:20pm Australian time:


"Growth in the fourth quarter appears to be weaker yet, with an outright contraction quite likely,'' [the Federal Reserve's Janet Yellen] said. “Indeed, the US economy appears to be in a recession" (Source: Herald Sun)


Coincidence? I think not.


I know for a fact that Delta Goodrem is a loyal reader*, so I'll address this to her/you:
Why are you stuffing up the stock markets, Delta? Sure, breaking the financial markets, like you did with The Dud's heart, will get you some great publicity for your latest album, but what's wrong with an in-store appearance, or a T-shirt? Heck, you could have even tried sublimDELTA-AVAILABLE FROM ALL GOOD RECORD STORESinal advertising, and we wouldn't have minded.


So Delta, if you're still reading this, please stop ruining the world economy.
