Bankers 'whacked' in arcade game

[Adsos Letter]

Source: BBC

An arcade game that allows people to vent their anger at bankers has proved so popular the owner keeps having to replace worn out mallets.

Inventor Tim Hunkin introduced "Whack a Banker", which is based on the older "Whack a Mole" game, at his arcade on Southwold pier in Suffolk.

Instead of players hitting pop-up moles with a mallet, within a set time, the target is pop-up bald figures.

Mr Hunkin said the game was "proving very popular".

1. A rodent is a rodent

Moles...Bankers...what's the big distinction between two subterranean rodents?

2. I think I would prefer the one with the air rifles

and banksters scurrying around on conveyor belts, perhaps with a downtown background theme. Scoped air rifles. Looking down as if from a high up window.

Hit 5 of the bastards and you get a lower credit score. Hit 10 and you get a new mortgage. 15 and you get our TARP money back.

My fantasy life is going to get me in trouble someday.
