Those of you who've been around a while will probably remember how I've complained in the past about the fluffiness of the "MSN Today" links that pop up on Hotmail, a significant proportion of which are celebrity-, beauty-, or fashion-related. But I have to admit, some cold, black, cynical little portion of my heart has really enjoyed watching the following progression of link titles over the past year or so:

See new dresses from Pierre Cardin, Prada

Which was followed, some months later, by:

Updating your fall wardrobe on a budget

The fashion-related headline today?

New ways to wear old jeans

We poor Americans. Whatever will we do without a constant stream of credit offers and rising home equity to fund the constant consumption of ridiculously overpriced goods that fuels our economy?
