"Lehman's Loot"


I just saw this boardgame that came out online today. I think this is something that should be under every banker's christmas tree this holiday!

From UPI.Com:

Firm invents board game for sacked bankers

LONDON, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- T-Enterprise says it has created a board game -- "Lehman's Loot" -- where sacked bankers score points by stealing office equipment on their way out.
"We created Lehman's Loot so everyone can take part in the global financial meltdown," said T-Enterprise spokeswoman Sadia Cishti, in London.
Thousands of bank workers in Great Britain lost their jobs in the collapse of U.S-based Lehman Brothers last week, The Sun reported, noting some of the workers were seen clearing their desks into boxes and leaving with office equipment.
Lehman's Loot gives players extra points for snatching computers, stationary and calculators, said Cishti, noting the game memorializes a "week no-one in finance will ever forget."

I love this idea.....I think we should also have a 2008 realistic version of Monopoly...execpt nobody would be able to win!
