Normally I wouldn't bother destroying everybody's brain cells on here with this, but I just figured we could all use a laugh.

About deflation:

"Such a spiral led to Japan’s “lost decade” of slow economic growth in the 1990s. A more vicious version in the U.S. helped create the Great Depression six decades earlier. Bond investors are forecasting retreating consumer prices, as shown by the yield they demand to hold a one-year bond versus a similar inflation-protected bond."

Falling consumer prices has wreaked havoc on the world!  What a joke.  The funniest part is that the clown writing this article doesn't even say that the lost decade and Great Depression featured falling prices, but that they created such depressions.
