Titled:     Two kids hurt in minor league scramble for cash

No - not a reference to Ben "Helicopter" Bernanke - that kind of money drop would hurt us all - but a stunt by a Michigan minor league team.
Two children were injured in a scramble to grab cash being dropped from a helicopter as part of a promotion after a minor league baseball game.

About $1,000 in cash was dropped Saturday from the helicopter over Fifth Third Ballpark's outfield as children lined the outfield fence. After the cash was dropped, the children scrambled.

A 7-year-old boy was trampled and taken to a hospital, while a 7-year-old girl got a bloody lip after being pushed onto the ground.
I hope Ben takes note of the effects of dropping money onto a fiscally-unaware population.
