Funny or Die’s SNL Presidential Reunion, advocating Consumer Financial Protection Agency

Thanks to @mrdistek for the video. This is pretty good. It’s good to see all of the past Presidents (SNL-style) together. Some carry it off better than others, but it’s good none-the-less.

Make no mistake, though. This is a political ad and that point is driven forward to a point that really kills the comedic effect. They are advocating for a Consumer Financial Protection Agency.

Report: 6 Out Of 10 Americans Cannot Locate Payless Shoes On A Mall Map 

This is just tragic. How will future shoppers help the American economy slog forward? It is a shame that more schools aren’t focusing on these essential skills. If we don’t educate students on skills like finding Payless on a mall map, how will they learn to do this themselves.

Some say that we are just protecting them from buying cheap shoes. I mean, if we not only allow them to go there, but show them how to find it, aren’t we guilty when those $10 specials fall apart at inopportune times? I say, of course not. We need to show them how to responsibly use these maps. Point out that they can get higher quality discount shoes for just slightly more at DW or super discounts on name brand shoes at TJ Maxx.

So, don’t protect students from reality, prepare them for it. 🙂
