How To Mash Bernie Madoff

Bernie, Bernie, Bernie—what are we going to do with an uber-gonif like you?

Well, Mr. Madoff, Graeme Warring of ModelWorks is hoping that we’re willing to hand over the low, low price of $99.95 to whack you good. And then again.

That’s the cost of his company’s new “Smash-Me Bernie” doll, according to the New York Daily News. It features Bernie’s face on a body with a red-suit, devilish pitchfork in hand. It even comes with a golden hammer that allows you to get to work.

You remember Bernie: He’s the shmoe (yes, I’m being nice in the interest of working for a family newspaper) arrested Dec. 11, 2008, for defrauding investors out of a cool $50 billion. He particularly targeted fellow Jews and their charities, including the likes of Steven Spielberg, Elie Wiesel, Hadassah, Yeshiva University and many others.

And while the price is high, if you were one of the gazillionaires who lost big bucks with the Waldo of Wall Street, it just might be worth it. (Because if you already lost a few million, really, what’s a C-note to you?)

Sounds like a great gift for Jewish preschools to teach them what happens to people who lie.
