Manage Your Anger by Beating Up Bernie Madoff

When Bernie "wipe-out-everyone's-finances" Madoff was arrested for swindling $50 billion dollars from his unsuspecting investors, lots of people lost a lot of money. Whether it was millions of bucks or just some spare change, the victims of Bernie's ponzi scheme are pissed.

Rather than just sitting there and letting your anger simmer while Bernie (whose trial was recently delayed another 30 days) lounges around in his $7 million pad, the folks at Mini-Me Bodyworks have created a devilish Bernie Madoff doll. According to them, kicking it around a bit might make some of you feel a bit better about your finances.

The $99.95 price tag is pretty steep considering that most of the people who want to beat the crap out of Bernie are also the same people in financial ruin, but maybe they dislike the swindler enough to buy the toy anyway. If you order one now, they'll even include a limited edition hammer so that you can beat up your new doll. And yes, the pitchfork is included.

I think it's only a matter of time before the company starts marketing a Rod Blagojevich doll.
