Saturday Night Live on AIG’s Bottomless Chutzpah

in Comedy | October 12th, 2008

It did­n’t take long for cor­po­rate Amer­i­ca to start brazen­ly shaft­ing the Amer­i­can tax­pay­er again. Just days after the gov­ern­ment spent $85 bil­lion bail­ing out AIG, the com­pa­ny shelled out $440,000 to send its execs to a South­ern Cal­i­for­nia resort. There a good $23,000 was spent on well-deserved spa treat­ments.

The cor­rup­tion has reached points where you just have to laugh (did you know that AIG’s CEO also gets a $5 mil­lion per­for­mance bonus?), and that’s what Sat­ur­day Night Live helps you do. Watch the video below and fast for­ward to the last two and a half min­utes.

PS In the com­ments, one of our read­ers has offered a defense of AIG. Your thoughts?
