Hey, check out my Madoff dollar.
Edited on Fri Mar-13-09 04:35 AM by napoleon_in_rags
I was just reading the news when I came across this picture of Madoff:



Something about the curved nose, half closed eyes and stern lips reminded me of Washington on the dollar bill, so I superimposed his face on the bill on and messed with the colors:



Kind of disturbing, isn't it? I'm not sure what fun things to do with "Madoff dollars" but there's probably something. ;)


edit: Oh, and here's the story I got it from.

4. That's what I was thinking, a great gift to give when you're completely broke.
Print some up and put them In a card with something like "I was going to send give you cash, but somehow my carefully invested dollars turned into these!" hee hee.

7. Oh yeah, that would be better, wouldn't it?
Would drive the point home. Its a little too subtle as it is.

9. Here it is, just for you! The Madoff Zero dollar bill.


I'm totally ripping off somebody elses art here, but I think they would approve for the sake of laughs on DU. The original work had Bush and is here:
