The Credit Crisis For The SAS Crowd

If you're anything like me, you haven't paid too much attention to the current economic imbroglio. You don't really understand it -- you know it's bad, yet you can't help saying to yourself: "But they had so much money!"

Luckily, Jonathan Jarvis, a graduate student at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California put together a badass video for his thesis: “The Short and Simple Story of the Credit Crisis.”

Jarvis makes "playing hot potato with a time bomb" easy to grasp even for English majors like myself, and at times the animation makes you want to chuckle. Then, like myself, you will realize you might never have a job and begin the frowning of a lifetime.
