SEC & DoJ need to fix this.
It should read: Sorry Ass in Jail!
So, Morgan Stanley Vice-Chairman Rob Kindler drives a Porsche Cayenne with the License Plate 2BG2FAIL.
Just delightful.
I need to figure out how to go long on pitch forks and torches.
And maybe some rabid ferrets, and ground beef, and honey, and really nasty stinging ants.
But no guns or rope: I oppose capital punishment.

Great Googly Moogly!
I just cannot deal with the dress code.
Henry Blodget asks the burning question, “Does Reuters Make Felix Salmon Dress Like Willy Wonka?“
Felix Salmon comments on this on Twitter, Twitpic, and you can see a related video on BNN.
It appears that he decided to “put on the dog,” for the interview on the video.

Is Pop Musician Bryan Adams Being Investigated For His Involvement in a Child Prostitution Ring?
Of course not. The only crime of Bryan Adams is that he makes crappy music. From a quick look at the Wiki, it appears that he does charity, though I think that his support of PETA is misguided, and so I have no hostility to him, though if one of his song’s comes on, I will change the station.
In perusing his Wiki page, I also discovered that he also does photography, and appears to be pretty good at this, having won some awards.
So, why do I post this? Because Lindsay Beyerstein, aka Majikthise, had a post on the Runners’ World photos of Sarah Palin that ended up in Newsweek, and in her initial post, she named listed the prographer of record as Bryan Adams, when the photographer was actually Brian Adams.
It’s not surprising that she got a complaint from Mr. Adams’ representatives, after all that’s their job, but their threats were over the top:
Maybe Palin didn’t realize that the photographer, Brian Adams, was depicting her this way. If so, he totally fucked her over. But I think she was on board with the concept. If Palin had assailed Runner’s World for making fun of her, I might now take her complaint about Newsweek seriously. She liked the Runner’s World spread, though. She thought it was appropriate. [NB: In an earlier version of this post, I misspelled Brian Adams’ name “Bryan Adams.” Today, I got an email from a firm called Web Sheriff telling me that they’d take legal action if I didn’t apologize to the rock star Bryan Adams and ACI for any injury I might have caused to his reputation. So, I sincerely apologize to Bryan Adams. I wouldn’t want my name associated with these ridiculous pictures either.]
(emphasis original)
Take legal action? What the f$#@ is wrong with these folks?
Needless to say, when folks like this (Web Sheriff, not Mr. Adams) engage in dick swinging like this, they deserve all the satire that they receive.
As to Mr. Adams, I would suggest that you retain someone with a clue to protect your reputation on line, though the best way to improve your reputation would be to stop making record albums.
BTW, it appears that Web Sheriff is a British firm, and Britain’s nutzo libel laws might very well be behind WS’s attitude.
