Happy people when markets are down?

First there was the "Naked News", then there was the recession. Naturally everyone would think "why not put them together?"... duh.

Well, Puma had that thought and created an iPhone app that tracks the major markets around the world and assigns a female/male model to each. The application is easy - when the markets go down, so do the pants. When the markets go up, so do the pants.

Puma has taken a really interesting approach to the relatively gloomy stock market by creating its own silver lining but will people really be happy to see the indexes go down? Doubtful... but maybe with a little pg13 entertainment it won't hurt so much?

Some may argue that this new app is taking sex too far and to leave it out of the markets. Maybe sex shouldn't sell everything - but I'm sure others that would argue a little bit of sunshine is just what the broker ordered.

One thing is for sure, it's probably in your best interest to check these markets at home.
