If there’s any good that’s come out of the subprime mess, it’s the handful of sardonic songs/skits/poems that have been making their way around the web in tribute to the losses that have ravaged the financial world.
There’s the Dr. Seuss-inspired “Broker Joe” poem about a CDO-pushing salesman, available with illustrations here. Then there was Merle Hazard’s country song of heartbreak “H-E-D-G-E F-U-N-D”, complete with a YouTube music video. My personal favorite satire was the mock interview conducted by two British satirists, also available on YouTube.
If you can’t get enough of this stuff, someone else has posted “The Subprime Primer,” a stick-figure illustrated, 45 slide show about what went wrong.
Hat Tip: Consumerist.
