Aggression Therapy for the Recession.
Looking for the perfect gift for that special person who used to have everything, but lost it all to Bernie Madoff? Smash-Me-Bernie is a seven-inch-tall figure created in the likeness of disgraced Ponzi Scheme fraudster Bernie Madoff. In a time of recession, someone you know would be happy to have a way to let off some steam.
All you have to do is scrounge up $99 from the remains of your portfolio.
For that, you get the pitchfork-wielding doll created in Madoff's likeness, complete with a red devil suit. It comes with a gold "commemorative" hammer, for the purpose of pulverizing Mr. Madoff in effigy. Like a sinister version of Tickle-me-Elmo, Smash-Me-Bernie is intended to be a form of toy therapy. While people are encouraged to tickle Elmo and listen to his infectious laughter to find joy, the Smash-Me-Bernie is intended to be smashed to smithereens. Think of it as aggression therapy for recession weary consumers.
