Popular media figure causes Dow Jones and FTSE freefall

In shocking news today, it was revealed that a popular media figure sent the major financial trading centres around the world spinning out of control and into free-fall. It was only rapid intervention by administrators on Wall Street and in London’s FTSE who halted the trading and thus averted what could so easily have led to a globally catastrophic crash.

Two days ago Donna PepsiCola, a Canadian Social Mediarist, called on her influential website for a halt to blogging. Within hours her plea had reached the monitors of her many rich and powerful friends.

Large numbers of them immediately turned off their laptops, pocketed their Blackberries, and headed out the door for a spot of Christmas shopping, shocked out of their complacency by Ms. PepsiCola’s reminder that it is only a fortnight until Santa comes visiting.

Ms. PepsiCola has so far remained silent on the effects of her post and her whereabouts are still unknown to authorities.

We’ll bring you more news as it comes to hand, but we take this opportunity to join in Ms. PepsiCola’s reminder that with only two weeks left until ‘the big day’, you had better get your hands off your keyboard, your eyes off your monitor and your feet out the door to ‘smell the coffee’ and snap up some fantastic Christmas shopping bargains! Remember, nobody in their right mind wants that scarf and jumper combo that you think is so ‘right’ for your wife or mother-in-law. Why don’t you ask the nice assistant to show you something more appropriate, huh?

    You’re too funny, Lee. Unfortunately I am still chained to my desk, so the butter remains in the fridge and the kids’ Christmas lists are tucked safely in my purse. I hope to venture out into the world NEXT week. Still have to keep my nose to the grindstone for the next few days.
