Ad Council Tells Young Adults: Save Your Money!

I've spotted several billboards around town urging me to put more away in my piggy bank. The "Feed the Pig" ad campaign is brought to us by our country's concerned CPAs in collaboration with the Ad Council. I agree we should all save more of our money but I find the campaign off the mark. Is it funny? ironic? tragic? to see this in a country whose economy turns on the wheels of consumer spending? And nice touch rubbing in the high cost of higher education - I'm sure most of us repaying massive student loans would have preferred to go to school for free!
