Zombies to take over the World Bank

There have been a notable number of zombies in the world. Frankenstein was technically a zombie. Michael Jackson did a little number as a zombie. Jenna Jameson was a popular zombie stripper. According to Beavis and Butthead, Kristen Stewart might be a zombie. There have been zombie stocks like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac wreaking havoc during the Zombie frenzy of the 21st century. We've profiled Icelandic Zombies not named Björk or the swan around Björk's neck. We've even wondered aloud if Norv Turner may in fact be a zombie. Now we have to deal with a Zombie taking over the World Bank.

Larry Summers is an economist that pushed forward deregulation policies during the Clinton Administration that helped lead to the financial meltdown. He commented in a leaked email that dirty industries should be moved to developing countries, something that should derail a public figure faster than Dominque Strauss-Kahn could be undone by a scandal. But, Summers appears to be undead. Unlike a Vampire who can be killed by stake through the heart, Summers could easily survive this. No one can advocate for moving pollution to impoverished areas for the sake of economic gain could possibly have a heart. An unbeating heart should be a telltale sign of something amiss. Silver bullets, normally needed to take down a werewolf would only become tools in an economist hands, unless of course there is a silver bubble burst like happened in 2011... Thus, we can only assume that Summers is a zombie.

So how can one prevent a zombie from coming to power in so powerful of a financial position as head of the World Bank?

We could maybe organize a protest and espouse our anger without detailing any real solutions. That can cause a stir and a media frenzy, but our friends in Zuccotti Park might tell us that this is quixotic task.

We could maybe destroy the World Bank by robbing it of its resources. This would be difficult, but a blueprint exists. Have you ever seen Swordfish? That might work, but Hugh Jackman might be unavailable with his busy broadway schedule. We for one, are excited about his Houdini act. Besides, he's too flirty with NYC's finest to be bothered.

Since that is out, the only thing we can do is maybe offer him a more lucrative position in a financial firm. Wal-Mart surely is too big to fail. Or maybe, since Urban Outfitters is looking for a new CEO and we hope to see the imminent destruction of UO before they can do real harm it can only be hoped that he could slide into that role and cause a bit more of implosion... But that may just be too optimistic.
