They're the worst part of this site and I wish they'd stop. They're clearly done cause people love lists, but these "hey, 10 films that feature ice cream cause the price of ice cream went up!" ideas are trite and insipid. i gotta say, i find these 2+2=5 editorial streeeeetch features terribly hackneyed and kinda insufferable.

Aim for the head! I'm talking about the zombie apocalypse, of course. But there's no reason it couldn't apply to a financial one either. Especially if everyone's hoarding gasoline. Which, by the way should be "1. Hoard Water", in my opinion. Oh yea, and before the doom and horror arrives, under no circumstance should you head south! The South is a scary place, full of gun-toting cowboys who still think they're at war with the North. ...and they're all fat :P 8. Aim for the head!
