9. Hang Yourself - Indian Flyer
Our next entry is a particularly puzzling flyer from India. At first glance, it seems to be encouraging readers to celebrate the recession by hanging themselves. Judging from the picture and general context, we think it's safe to say that this is actually a promotional tool for bungee jumping. We hope, at least, as the alternative seems to be tourists flinging themselves from a sky cab with ropes attached to their necks. So, next time you look at your bank account and feel the soul-crushing oppression of the economic crisis, don't feel down; take the smart option. Why not celebrate the recession in style by heading to Sri Lanka, where you can pay 28,390 Rupees for the most expensive noose in the civilized world? Disclaimer: The previous paragraph reached unprecedented levels on our sarcasm scale. Under no circumstances should you hang yourself, even in such lovely surroundings as the Maldives.
