It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Redux

In the 1963 comedy It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World , director Stanley Kramer told the story of the worst of what can happen if people stumble upon the opportunity to get a lot of money for free. The casting was brilliant... Spencer Tracy, Sid Caesar, Buddy Hackett, Ethel Merman, and so many more.

Well, it seems in 2009 that life has imitated art. Perhaps Hollywood might consider a remake starring a current cast of greedy characters:

John Thain
Rod Blagojevich
Cecil Suwal
A Somali pirate
Sen. Ted Stevens
Joe the Plumber
and in the lead role, Bernie Madoff
