Don't It Make My Bull Balls Blue




Someone's gone and painted the Wall Street bull's balls blue. A fitting metaphor for lack of relief. Twice as interesting because the bull itself is an example of guerilla art -- Arturo Di Modica didn't have the city's permission when he installed it himself following the 1987 stock market crash. Another chapter in the history of a great piece of public art.

All The Sad Trading Men

"Ted realizes that the guy on St. Mark’s Place who sold him the “limited edition iPhone” was not an honest salesman."

As you may know, the stock market has been in the shitter for a couple days now. All over print and digital media there have been displays of traders around the world pulling their hair out, screaming in agony, etc. Yesterday I found out these photos were stock photos! We're not even getting same day "freak out" pics! That's bullshit. Then today I came across this blog/joke site, and it's pretty, pretty funny.

SELL! SELL! SELL!!!
