[Calvin Jones an...]

I got a chuckle out of that, I admit.

[Charlie Bravo]

Likewise...but "Object of the Year"?

(Sigh)

OT:  Sorry to Cut in line..

But..  This is clearly a Multi-Function Laser Printer..

Needs to be a good ole inkjet..

Still frickin funny though..

[williambanzai7]

Comes in handy if you have to fax dough to the ECB

[Problem Is]

I read it comes with a life time supply of "Bernanke Federal Reserve Note" Green ink cartridges...

Free shipping direct from Yemen...

[John McCloy]

Yesssss. William you have outdone yourself. Your finest work yet. ZH lets get some T-shirts going and trademark this. A few thousand people walking around with one of these will spur some google searches. 

Also William can you post the Weekend at Bennies photoshop you made?

[williambanzai7]

[John McCloy]

Thanks but I mean the other one with Tim & Ben propping up Uncle Sam with Glasses.

[williambanzai7]

Standby...I have to go search for it

[Mr Lennon Hendrix]

So by not uploading an image at the speed of light, this proves you do sleep.  I still figure Tyler to be an insomniac.

No you can't die from insomnia.

[StychoKiller]

So, you're saying I shouldn't lose any sleep over it? :>D

Go to http://www.zazzle.com and make your own, then donate $10 to ZH!!

[MeTarzanUjane]

Good one, too bad the ink will cost more than it outputs.

[sodbuster]

"To bad the ink costs more than the outputs"

Oh, heck, that would be a typical government enterprise.

[kathy.chamberli...]

so true, printer ink scam by HP. that is all those bitches have as ammo.

[williambanzai7]

That startling fact has not revealed itself to the moron at the controls ;-)

[gwar5]

OK, it's time to cry now

[williambanzai7]

Feel better ;-)

[williambanzai7]

Careful with those binaries ;-)

[Lucky Guesst]

HAHAHA!

+ a years worth of groceries (remains to be seen how to value that in $$)

[williambanzai7]

Twinkies day and night?

[Lucky Guesst]

Sure.... and pigs in a blanket and fried bologna sandwiches and spam!

I can go back to my roots but my kids are gonna have a hard time adjusting lol.

[kato]

i wish they would send some large amount my way. i have valuable collateral to sell them.

[williambanzai7]

Just sign the note in invisible ink ;-)

[RoRoTrader]

Can that cover go viral, William?

[Xedus129]

That HP printer was legit, never broke on me once..

[williambanzai7]

I had one, in the end they stopped updating the scan drivers so I had to chuck it.

[LongSoupLine]

Ha Ha Haaaaaa!  Nice William!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the store and blow my entire 401k on milk and eggs.

[williambanzai7]

Thanks all. 

I just want to make sure TD is given his due. He emailed the idea to me while I was throwing together "I'm a Nut." So I wound up multi-tasking ;-)

I true ZH collab. Tnx TD. 

[Mr Lennon Hendrix]

If we had TD run for Prezident, we could have you do the best (funniest) smear campaign ever.  Of course it would not be smear tactics as much as truth tactics.

[Sespian]

Can't be any worse than the two party campaign slogan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s46SgIBpQ-Q

[williambanzai7]

This is what I generate on the fly. Imagine what would happen if I sat down and planned a media campaign ;-)

[aarskever]

It seems to be the same cover as last year's.. are you sure they will vote for the same guything twice in a row?

[williambanzai7]

It's a guy-thing I thingk

[New_Meat]

"your life won't ever get in a rut."

[homersimpson]

Your best cover yet. I'll take a year's subscription.

[williambanzai7]

Life is a cover or is it undercover?

[Mongo]

Brilliant

[williambanzai7]

...Santa Maria!

[Rudolf Havenstein]

Nice one, Bill.

[williambanzai7]

Tnx RH

[breezer1]

has anyone sent this to time? are they still in business? 

[FEDbuster]

Would work on Money, Fortune or Forbes, too. 

Sure wish they would bring back the $1,000. bill, but electronic money hides all the fun.  Zimbabwenomics, bitches.

[hamurobby]

Sure wish they would bring back the $1,000. bill,

Thats probably the real reason for delaying the new $100 bill, they have to re design it with another zero.

[doolittlegeorge]

Clevelands?  I want Wilsons.

[williambanzai7]

They will copyswipe us with parody defringement ;-)

[kinetik]

Oh crap, I thought Tyler was talking about moot, not Bernanke.

http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1883644_1883653_1885481,00.html

[Mr Lennon Hendrix]

That isn't the printer whose toner was in the UPS bomb box now was it?

[williambanzai7]

[Mr Lennon Hendrix]

hahaha that is perfect!

[williambanzai7]

I have to go recharge my batteries, but I thank each and everyone of you for your support and Dr Ben for all the inspiration;-)

[williambanzai7]

You read my mind...better see a shrunk ;-)

[traderjoe]

Fast Money traders talking about QE3/4 already. Not really favorably - just discussing. As we know - it's a trap. They will drive it into the ground pumping money...

[OdinsBeard]

We need one of Banzai's creations with Admiral Ackbar's "it's a trap"...

[williambanzai7]

Its a CRAP ;-)

[Misean]

About 4 $100 FRN's can be printed per standard paper size. Most HP type ink jet printers can do 35ish pages/min.  Therefore, it would take said printer running at that speed, non-stop 24/7/365 135 years 328 days 3 hours 14 minutes 24 seconds to print the $600B of QE II.

[williambanzai7]

Amazing ;-) Just need to get the toilet paper ;-)

[where is my mind]

SERIOUSLY, I WILL BUY THAT STICKER YESTERDAY!

[williambanzai7]

Yesterday was today ;-)

[fUny1]

From here on out, let it be decreed that Bernanke shall be known as:

Ben the Butcher: The Final Moral Hazard.

http://funy1.blogspot.com/2010/11/ben-butcher-final-moral-hazard.html

[williambanzai7]

I think you  mean Final Moron Hazard

[Printfaster]

Hey it only fair that *I*, Printfaster, shoud be on the Time cover.

[williambanzai7]

Print it ;-)

[RobotTrader]

[hamurobby]

Can I get a silver bikini with that?

[Xedus129]

Your chart is off, Silver was up almost 8%

[Withdrawn Sanction]

Loved the crack-up boom reference....LvM's just so serious.

Was anything red today?

[Xedus129]

VIX

[doolittlegeorge]

the dollar.  go ahead..."short that too mo fo."  i'm serious:  "he's huggy bear."

[hamurobby]

Health care didnt do so well.

[kathy.chamberli...]

Pork Bellies, not so GOoD

[EscapeKey]

Mises, bitchez!

[Shameful]

This is awesome! Great chart Robo! Go Go crack up boom! Want to hear the MSM talk about the rally and recover that just won't quit :)

[williambanzai7]

I'm think I'm having a chart attack ;-)

[equity_momo]

Comedy Gold A+

[williambanzai7]

Thank EM

[Buck Johnson]

That cover is unbelievable, and that is exactly what is happening.  If americans where smart they would tell him to stop.

[williambanzai7]

Do you think the PhD'd listen?

[Black Friday]

Hilarious! And the new million dollar bills are a nice touch.

[williambanzai7]

I like your Avatar ;-)

[Coldfire]

Would that such a cover would be so! In the non-satirical space we have the Luce(ifer) Effect: "Life" was for people who couldn't read and "Time" is for people who can't think. CNN and CNBC are for both.

[williambanzai7]

Mad Magazine, for those who think ;-) 

[cbxer55]

The best of Mad magazine.

http://www.collectmad.com/collectibles/sampost.htm

Got one of these in my garage. ;-)

[slyhill]

Its gonna blow in 17 minutes...

[williambanzai7]

Still here ;-)

[Everyman]

TOTUS and "McPrinty".  Things of the Year!!  Maybe they will get a Nobel Appliance prize?

[williambanzai7]

Toilet bowl is the runner up ;-)

[lsbumblebee]

Nice work. I can just hear the readers of Time magazine at newsstands everywhere saying, "Ooooh. I want one of those!"

[williambanzai7]

They already got one ;-)

[akat]

 I personally would have voted for the patented Bernanke Blackhawk Helicopter, with the fast cash bombing system.  Suitable for money drops of epic magnitudes.

[williambanzai7]

It is not in the TIME budget

[Money 4 Nothing]

Ooooh! Is that the new HP full color printer Iv's been hearing about?

[williambanzai7]

Available at Crazy Benny's...

[prophet]

Is Crack Up Boom one of them new song/dances that the young'ns do?

Technically speaking what are the differences between a crack up boom, a melt up, and a  blow off top? 

Does the Daily Show staff get this stuff? 

[williambanzai7]

Whatever makes a prophet ;-)

[ExploitTheMarket]

You guys are reading Mises, I am past him--not radical enough.

you should be reading

Hans Hermann Hoppe....

bitches.

[williambanzai7]

I am reading Heidrich Off'd Top

[MrTrader]

I JUST ASKED MY SECRETARY TO BUY A PRINTER. IT WILL BE DELEVERED TO BEN SHALOM BERNANKE WITH THE FOLLOWING : “Dr. Bernanke unfortunately you do not understand economics, you do not understand currencies, you do not understand finance. All you understand is printing money.”

[sbenard]

There aren't ENOUGH printers! And where are the fleets of helicopters?

[New_Meat]

Off to India

[Grand Supercycle]

DOW/S&P500/FTSE daily and weekly overbought charts are now at an extreme level. Similar extreme conditions were detected before the correction started in mid 2007.
