SOMETIMES things go a little too far: Yes, That's a Banker Hanging From a Phone Line Along I-95

[mfcorey1]

For the past week, graffiti artist Above has been working on a giant, attention-grabbing mural in Wynwood next to the I-95 northbound lanes as part of Primary Flight. It reads in block letters: "Give a Wall Street banker enough rope and he will hang himself."

Today the artist added the cherry on top: a mannequin, dressed as a banker with a sack over his head, swinging from a noose.

We asked Above to send us a photo as soon as the suicidal fat cat was hung. We're guessing there'll be some 911 calls from the highway and some municipal employee will be climbing a ladder with scissors sometime this afternoon.

1. "They will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

3. That artist made a big mistake.

He should have used a Guillotine for the proper historical context.

5. I believe lamp posts have a proper historical context

That artist got close. Perhaps lamp posts are reserved for the fascist political enablers.

6. You have a point.

...and the lamp post DOES have a more recent Historical Context.
