Six Meat Buffet brings us a link explaining the mortgage crisis using simple stick figures and some saucy, adult language.  It’s a must read.

Stick Customer: Gee, I’d like to buy a house, but I haven’t saved any money for a downpayment and I don’t think I can afford the monthly payments.  Can you help me?

Stick Lender: Sure! Since the value of houses will always go up, we don’t need downpayments anymore!

My picture is nowhere near as good, but since stick figures are the only ones I can draw, I take every opportunity.

Menh.  Go read the real good stuff here.
