That’s the advice of the decade, isn’t it? Well, it’s also a pretty funny Saturday Night Live skit with Steve Martin. The skit’s a parody of those book infomercials for financial products we see all the time. Looking a little deeper, it’s also a slight commentary on the marketing of common sense.
Well, I saw the clip linked on It’s Your Money, but to view the video hosted on Salon, the viewer is required to watch a short advertisement and have Apple Quicktime.
Here’s a more accessible version of the skit, hosted on YouTube (and therefore probably unauthorized), and requiring only Flash player.

Too funny. In a lot of cases, that’s what it comes down to.
