How to Legally Destroy Bernie Madoff
For just $99.95 plus $15 for shipping you can have your very own smashable Bernard Madoff doll! For a limited time that fee also includes a matching "Hit Bernie" hammer.
The doll, which stands roughly seven inches tall and features Madoff wearing a red suit and yielding a pitchfork, is made in the Philippines but sold to the financially ruined, worldwide.
Modelworks, the Phoenix-based company that sells the doll along with other customizable models, claims that 1,000 orders for the Mini-Me Madoff have already been placed.
For those of you keeping score at home, that's $99,950 in revenue, already, for an effigy of the man who orchestrated what has been called "the largest fraud in the history of Wall Street."
And in other financial news, the times are so dire that former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has declared that the recession, which has persisted since the fourth quarter of 2007, will "surely be the longest and deepest" since the Great Depression.
So maybe on second thought, paying three figures for a useless, inanimate object is a horrible idea.

There's a different toy for what Baraq is going to do to us. It comes with a bottle of KY jelly! His worshippers take it orally and the taxpayers take it somewhere else.

John Howell, not really sure regarding a Barack Obama figurine, but there is a Rush Limbaugh doll embracing your birth givers sphincter muscle, if that helps?

Both individuals making the inquiry, there is a substitute however, a Rush Limbaugh figurine but check at home before you place an order, she keeps it tightly embraced with the sphincter muscle!

The Bernie Madoff doll should have interchangeable heads.....I would smash the Madoff head and then immediately change it to the "Obama" head which I would also smash....I wish they could actually feel the pain when they are smashed so they would feel like the rest of us do!

To those interested in purchasing Barack Obama Figurines to smash (you know who you are), they haven't manufactured any, but there is a substitute....a Rush Limbaugh doll. Before you rush to make a purchase, check the madam, she secretly obtained one a month ago, she keeps it embraced with the sphincter muscle! Of course you wouldn't know her back from the front. You should have suggested Jenny Craig years ago!

The individual that wanted an interchangeable head for the doll, do yourself proud, don't accept "government welfare" from a Black man! Stand up for your Aryan beliefs, when your stimulus check arrives, keep the envelope sealed, print in large black, bold lettering, "RETURN TO SENDER" ADRESSESSE A FLAMING A-H!
