PHOTO: Wall Street Bull Had Blue Balls Today
The balls of the famous Wall Street bull got painted blue today. Before they were cleaned, a Gothamist reader snapped this pic. In terms of the creative comic output it's sparked, this may be the funniest economic meltdown ever.

@levarien: Yeah, in the coming economic meltdown, you will wish you had the brass ball cleaning job!
@socalrob: @ #2 -- LOL, that would be hilarious. I vote for that one. You ought to contact the code pink folks in NYC.
@stevejust: I don't think Code Pink would do that. The Dems caused the shenanigans in the first place.
@tande04:
Ah, you're right. I was thinking of a sculpture set I'd seen elsewhere. Sorry for the confusion. Now that you mention it, that bull is all by his lonesome there, I think.
Of course, being alone would account for the blue... condition. ;D
@XianZhuXuande: Back when this meltdown was just a glimmer in the eye of someone in a barrel hurtling towards Niagra falls, somebody taped a 2$ bill to the door of Bear Stearns...

@OletheaEurystheus: I thought the same thing LOL. I was like so he's working, who cares if it's cleaning fake bulls balls.
@mexifelio: Maybe they can locate a few laborers at their fancy "retreats" that will be willing to do some extra work on the side. Uncle Sam'll be glad to foot the bill....
@Difdi:This task would fall under the "Other duties as assigned." part of the Job description. I also imagine a ball cleaner on Wall Street is paid pretty well.
@Craysh: Are you kidding? "It's all the democrats' fault" huh. Not the banks or the people getting loans they knew they'd never be able to pay off...it was the politicians. nice.
@gc3160 - that homo that u know: seriously! when bulls are sold at auction, some poor sap has to clean LIVE bull balls (at least when they're shown at a livestock show) - now THAT would be a ball sucking kinda job!!
@socalrob:
Maybe the blue bear from the Denver convention center could be photoshopped in as a temporary measure.
























Wow... I don't think I can add anything to this story.
Apt.
