And here's what they're doing about it! Setting up one of those giant inflatable rodents in front of 60 Wall Street this morning. No word if this is a union airing grievances (the rat-blocking-entrance is their calling card, though we've never seen one blinged out like this) or if the shareholder who got spied on is just blowing off some steam. If you passed by the thing this morning and took two to find out more, let us know.

It's a trojan rat. Let's see if they let it inside.

if the rat really bugs them i could send my $20K+ Egyptian cat to take care of it, like it took care of dennis kneale..

You all have it backwards: the gold-toothed rat is there to *give* money to DB. They're going to need it after their CRE portfolio implodes . . .

You all have it wrong. Boaz sent his pet rat over to the DB building to return some of that billion or so dollars he lost.

@ 8 - How do you know that the rat is a Jew? From the angle of the photo, I couldn't tell.
Posted by guest , Jul 29, 2009 10:06AM
@25 are you blind? You can see the nose on that thing from 10 blocks away
Posted by guest , Jul 29, 2009 10:07AM
@25 - you were hoping for upskirt, perhaps?
Posted by guest , Jul 29, 2009 10:08AM
@26 but jews wear their bag of gold safely tucked away under their shirt
Posted by guest , Jul 29, 2009 10:09AM
Its true, that rat has a very large nose. I am no expert, but to me that screams, Jew!
Posted by guest , Jul 29, 2009 10:10AM
well that jew didnt invest with ponzi boy
Posted by guest , Jul 29, 2009 10:11AM
I am so fed up with everyone bashing Jews because of certain physical features! We have so many other redeeming qualities I'd be thrilled to tell you more about.

I passed it this morning and ignored it as I always do passing it off as a whiny union rant. If someone is trying to make a statement and they are not a union member, they chose the wrong outlet.
Why is this country full of so many leeches, tools, and cry babies. Grow some balls and advance your life.
Idiots.

@23, if by "gem" you mean a declaration that you are retarded and are desperate for someone to click on your webpage where you spout off on things that you think you understand because you have a degree in liberal arts from a school that took your parent's tuition money, then no, I don't think the gem was missed

@HAM ftw, no doubt
Also, the asbestos rat is quite often set up outside 67 wall (or whichever building is across from DB).
Does Gene Simmons know about the copyright infringement with those money bags though, hmm
Posted by guest , Jul 29, 2009 11:12AM
@28, beneath the fake bag with no gold
Posted by guest , Jul 29, 2009 11:13AM
Presumably, "substandard" = "nonunion". From an email going around:
Partners,
Be advised that a protest is taking place in front of 60 Wall Street today, as indicated by the inflatable rat. Laborer's Local 78, which has organized the protest, claims that DB has hired "substandard" contractors for asbestos removal for a RREEF-managed property in upper Manhattan. CSBC has confirmed with the NYPD that this protest is legal and constitutionally protected. The duration of the protest has not yet been confirmed.

-Also not 23
Posted by guest , Jul 29, 2009 12:17PM
@27 - 25 here. Its the only way to be sure. The nose does present some evidence that the rat is not a Jew, but its inconclusive.
Posted by guest , Jul 29, 2009 1:28PM
@ 29- Oh, really, Jews have big noses, Since when? And your nose is how big? Have you looked in the mirror lately?

If you worked for an inflatable rat company and wanted to protest, what would you do?

Set-up an inflatable union rep?
