The proposed Wall Street government bailout has drawn considerable backlash from irate protesters. Everyone knows the best part of any worthwhile protest are the hilariously lame protest-pun signs, but while these Wall Street haters may have principles, they don’t seem to understand the concept of catchy protest slogans. Here are some of the lowlights:
10. “No Wall St. Bailout”
Not ‘catchy’ per se, but stellar graphic design skill.
9. “Now Clean It Up For ME Now!!!”
Man, Primus is pissed.
8. “No More No More No More“
Comedy comes in threes.
7. “Now Suck it Up!”
This guy’s actually pointing the sign at his son, who just fell down clutching his ankle in a nearby soccer game.
6. “It’s Capitalism, Stupid”
This sounds like an argument… in favor of the bailout? Stupid.
5. “Bail Me Out Too!”
No one thought of anything “Christian BAIL” related? Signmaking isn’t that difficult, people.
4. This Dude
3. “Greed Kills”
Actually just bizarre viral marketing for “Greed” reruns on Game Show Network.
2. “Class War Crimes”
“Head of the CLASSIST?” “CLASSISTal pianists?” “Drexel’s CLASSIST (Drexel = The Government”? So many unexplored options here.
1. “Jump! You Fuc*ers!”
Not really a pun, but succinct, to the point, suicide-advocating, and actually quite brilliant in its intentional uncuteness. I’ll give ‘em this one.
And the two BEST pun signs:
1. “Bailout: The Audacity Of DOPES!”
What does the bailout have to do with Barack Obama’s autobiography? Who cares, at least this person is putting some effort into being whimsical.
2. “Bailout = Bullsh*t”
SNAP! Bailout loses.
