Money Clips (12.9)

Money Clips: A collection of interesting news that may or may not be about money.

Foldeer

It's a paper deer head for your wall. You fold it yourself. No, really.

Poor Rudolph. In retrospect, experts think Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer may have been bullied. After all, all of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names, right? From ABC News.

What Not To Do At Work If You Want to Keep Your Job. The list includes taking shots of Jack Daniels at your desk and calling your congressman employer an “idiot boss” on Twitter. Take note. From CBS.

Spirit Airlines keeps it classy. Now that Rod Blagojevich has been sentenced to 14 years in prison, Spirit Airlines is offering a “Slammer Sale.” From their marketing materials: “You don’t have to live in the ‘Big House’ to take advantage of these fares.” Nice. From NBC Chicago.

Got a Ford Fusion? Or a Mercury Milan? Ford is recalling its 2010 and 2011 models of the cars because, well, the wheels could fall off. Good luck with that. From USA Today.

4 gifts that keep on taking. What if you could give a gift that would cost its recipient hundreds of dollars over time? You can! Check out SmartMoney.com’s list.

Wedding oops. Supposing you were getting married. And supposing your in-laws were Muslim and religiously opposed to eating pork. Then supposing your wedding caterers served rice with pork sausage, potatoes with ham, salad with bacon, and ham sandwiches? (Aside from the obvious problem, what kind of food selection IS that?) From the Consumerist.

Deer on the wall. So you’ve always wanted a deer head on your wall (don’t we all?), but you don’t want to shoot one? Enter Foldeer, stage right. It’s a paper toy deer head that you fold yourself into a 25-inch piece of 3D wall art. Don’t everyone order all at once. From ABC News.

Happy weekend, all. Try not to bully any reindeer.
