CostumeFilter My friend wants to go as the Death of Corporate Greed. He already has a Grim Reaper-type cape. What other accessories should he have?
Ticker tape? Foreclosure notices? Old school HP accounting calculator with reverse Polish notation? A scroll with a list of lined-through company names:
Fannie Mae
Freddie Mac
Merrill Lynch
Lehman Bros.

General Motors

How about $700,000,000,000 in small, unmarked, nonsequential bills?

oh those are great!

Or many copies of the invoice for the 700K? He could hand them out to bystanders.

An Uncle Miltie RIP tombstone?

Have him carry a black sack containing the souls of third-world children.

Then, occasionally, your friend could take one out and snack on it.

Shorts. With price tags.

The risk is that once he gets drunker he might be tempted into naked short selling. That's just wrong.

I hate to tell you my idea about "trickle down economy".

The rumors of the death of corporate greed have been greatly exaggerated.

Someone needs to go as Paulson with his pockets absolutely stuffed with monopoly money, and he's handing it out right and left, roaring with laughter, to everyone and leaving a trail of fallen money behind him.

He could have fake stock certificates and currency cut in half pinned to his cape.

Big shiny scythe painted green, with dollar bills or money bags tied to it, airline tix to Aruba, and one of those big gold chains with a Mercedes logo pendant.
