My “Accidental Prophets Award” goes to… the talking heads of Canadian news.

They spent most of October and November warning Canadians that the sky was about to fall with their 24/7 reports that went something like, “danger Will Robinson the sky is falling and no-one in the world is ever going to buy anything ever again so you might as well just sign all of your money over to the bankers and crawl into a hole until the bankers foreclose on that too” message.  Then suddenly, on the night that the Toronto Stock Exchange reported its largest one day loss since Black Tuesday on 1987, a meteor hurtles out of the sky and smashes into Saskatchewan.  Holy Chicken Little batman, they were right! The global financial market meltdown has gone galactic!
