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.

is that a gold tooth or a piece of cheese?
looks like someone is out of work with some money and time to spare.
that is one BALLER ass rat.
did they get lost looking for gs?
@1 gold tooth
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..
this is kind of awkward, given the whole holocaust thing. the germans (and their guilt) will not be pleased.
rat’s barking up the wrong tree – no $ at deutsche this year
@8 too soon
Kramer, shouldn’t the bucket be on your head?
no grillz on that thing? lame.
later when i grow up i want to be just like that rat!
@11 it’s because we’re blind to their tyranny
Why is Chuck E. Cheese there?
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 . . .
That looks like Rick Santelli.
That’s CG’s brother Rick. Yes, he is baller.
@17 true story
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.
Is that building nice?
This is how GS rolls bitches!

Slow day so far. Check out 39 here, a little gem that went unnoticed:

My neighbor had the same Hanukkah decoration in his yard last year…the kids loved it.
@ 8 – How do you know that the rat is a Jew? From the angle of the photo, I couldn’t tell.
@25 are you blind? You can see the nose on that thing from 10 blocks away
@25 – you were hoping for upskirt, perhaps?
@26 but jews wear their bag of gold safely tucked away under their shirt
Its true, that rat has a very large nose. I am no expert, but to me that screams, Jew!
well that jew didnt invest with ponzi boy
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.
Is it true that JAPs prefer anal before marriage?
The stormtroopers with the jack boots are gonna take that thing out sooo fast . . .
@33 if you have a really small dick yes
@22. The best, the brightest, the perviest. Ick.
@33
Yes.

@32 = Joan Rivers
chillax everyone, its just splinter. came out of retirement to trade ooze futures.
I walk by that every day
Clearly the guy who took the picture did not notice the anti-asbestos slogans on the side
This thing has been there for a while
It has nothing to do with the bank
CG prefers anal before marriage.
BOOM!
DK
As if anyone not on Wall St. gives a sh*t about Deutsche bank.
#40 knows what he’s talking about.
@39/HAM FTW
that rat reminds me of the episode of z rock when the rat was outside of webster hall.

@39 Well played.
@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
@39 FTW
@46
Chill the fuck out.
-Not 23
I was there a month ago and it was on the other side of the street (facing south)perhaps substitute dumbass union\anti-absbestos rat-putter-outers at work here.
It would be better if that rat had a three piece suit.
- Judson
@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
@28, beneath the fake bag with no gold
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.
Anyone want to partner up in a Rent-A-Rat franchise. I see a trend building…
@46 who pissed in your cheerios? Referenced comment was pretty funny, unlike your bloviating.
-Also not 23
@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.
@ 29- Oh, really, Jews have big noses, Since when? And your nose is how big? Have you looked in the mirror lately?
Chuck E. Cheese?
If you worked for an inflatable rat company and wanted to protest, what would you do?
@59
Set-up an inflatable union rep?
had the exact same rat in chicago outside of jpm’s offices
