...matter. These ads seem more ripe for mocking than for making people buy newspapers. So that's what this group of mostly New York-based comedians and actors did under the direction of Michael Showalter of Wet Hot American Summer fame. The spoof even pokes hilarious fun at the paper and its advertising methods in a meta way! It's actually an ad for an arts and entertainment venue in New York City and it includes people like Paul Rudd, Mike Birbiglia, Andrea Rosen, Michael Ian Black and a bunch of people who probably roll in an insider comedian circle...

But the deadly fallout from it was no joking matter. Only a couple of weeks after Madoff's mischief was revealed, French financier Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet killed himself in his New York City office, apparently distraught by his having lost more than a billion of his clients' (and his own family's) money to the unprecedented fraud...
