The economy is in shambles. Your 401K can’t pay for a grilled cheese sandwich. But hey, in some parts of the country, things are just fine! Witness: you can purchase a Dallas Cowboys end zone package for the low, low price of half a million dollars! Granted, if you read the fine print, the Cowboys will donate the purchase price to charity. Alas, installation is not included! Really? Have a look/read for yourself (and thanks to Sassbottom for passing this along):

The new digs will be state-of-the-art, of course, but Texas Stadium is where America’s Team paid its dues … and grew its heart. It’s where a dynasty was built and where the Boys fought their way into seven NFL® Championships. To honor battles won and heroes lost over 38 glorious years, you can put 530 square yards of sporting history into your own backyard: An entire Cowboys Texas Stadium end zone. Our exclusive package also includes the VIP treatment for the last regular season Cowboys game in Texas Stadium. Your crew gets pre-game photos in your zone with Jerry Jones, a luxury suite for the game, and a once-in-a-lifetime post-game tailgate party on your soon-to be new backyard (with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, no less). There’s also autographed memorabilia from Cowboy legends, and a VIP package to attend the opening of the new stadium in 2009. Better yet, the Jerry Jones family and the Cowboys organization will generously donate the entire purchase price to The Salvation Army®. The perfect gift for envious buds? A framed 26″ x 36″ collage with a touchable section of the other end zone for their very own! (It’s a limited edition of 380, to celebrate 38 seasons at Texas Stadium.)

Yep, that’s what you get for $500,000 (installation not included, as we noted). Mortgage crisis averted! Everything is fine! Buy, buy, buy!
