It takes brass balls to make it on Wall Street, literally. The large bull statue is a tourist favorite for molesting.

Egg My Hummer, Please
December 31, 2007 | Filed by Boner | Leave a Comment
A Hummer owner in St. Petersburg, Russia, is encouraging people to throw eggs and tomatoes at his H3.
“Peter Antiglobalist” activists told news agency RIA [Russian Information Agency] they found a driver willing to let them express their dissatisfaction with consumerism by throwing things at his luxury sport utility vehicle, a spokesman said.
“Luxury is a false value, clouding modern society’s vision. Advertising posters, TV shows and slick marketing constantly tells us that buying things is the most important value in our society,” RIA quoted the spokesman as saying.
The activists hope that by people throwing rotten food at the prodigal vehicle, it will bring attention to the issue of mass overconsumption. The owner intends to later sell the vehicle and donate the money to charity.

Worst Realtor Photos

A top-10 collection of real photos of realtors from around the country.
It’s no secret that Realtors love plastering their photos – everywhere. Real estate agents have always done pretty crazy things to set themselves apart from the crowd…often to a fault. In a profession not always known for being, well, professional, it blows my mind what some agents will do.

A 6-year-old girl who won tickets to a Hannah Montana concert had her prize forfeited by the contest sponsors when it was discovered that her winning essay was a lie. In the essay, she falsely claimed her father died from a roadside bombing in Iraq.
The girls mother eventually fessed up that the essay and the military information she provided about her daughter’s father were untrue.
“We did the essay and that’s what we did to win. We did whatever we could do to win,” [Priscilla] Ceballos said in an interview Friday with KDFW-TV of Dallas.
She is now in the running for the mother of the year award.
