Confessions of a Shopaholic: Sad & Ironic

Submitted by on November 30, 2008 – 12:07 pm198 Comments

While seeing a movie over Thanksgiving (the new James Bond), I noticed the following signage for the new movie “Confessions of a Shopaholic.” The movie is based on the “Shopaholic” book series – but it really couldn’t be hitting theaters at more ironic time.

Shopaholic’s tag line is “all she ever wanted is a little credit…”

Not only did that help get us into this mess – it’s a feeling that is (and will continue) to be commonly felt throughout the country.
