How long do you figure it’ll be before both the media and our elected servants forget all about the $165M in AIG bonuses?
They were all over my tee-vee yesterday, calling for this and calling for that, but I have my doubts that anything will come of all the posturing, huffing and puffing.
What I am pretty confident about is that once the dust settles, we complacent, apathetic dumbass voters will quickly forget about it and get back to reality television shows and three-pound bacon double cheeseburgers.
The AIG bonus mess is really a testament to the piss-poor management of AIG. Someone in that company actually authorized these contractual, compulsory non-performance-based bonuses. What kind of madness is that? I don’t know about you, but if I don’t perform at work, I don’t get a fucking bonus.
I wish someone would put a face on AIG. You’d think from the lack of AIG names and faces dropped by media and politicians, that all these atrocities were being perpetrated by a sign and a building. Come on, dumbasses – there are people doing this to us, not anonymous men behind curtains.

That's true, there don't seem to be any names and faces to these recent corporate scandals. I guess the Corporate-Media Complex learned their lesson after Enron. Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling (among others) were household names.
The Powers That Be must have figured out that the public will forget more quickly if it's just a faceless corporate name or abbreviation.
