"Bizarro World" Gets A New Twist By Tom Barrella As a Financial Education Program For Teens |
|
The times we're living in are anything but normal. Nothing is as it seems, and no one cares. Welcome to Bizarro World, or is it just another day in America? Developed by Tom Barrella as a teaching tool for www.investeens.com, his take on "Bizarro World" comes uncomfortably close to the surreal events that contributed to our economic meltdown over the last few years. A lesson for us all.
The Investeens.com Bizarro World cartoon addresses current conundrums that make us all scratch our heads and ask 'Why?' which is key to teaching.
Massapequa Park, NY, June 17, 2011 - In the comic book Bizarro world of "Htrae" ("Earth" spelled backwards), society is ruled by the Bizarro Code which states "Us do opposite of all Earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! It's big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!" In one episode, for example, a salesman is doing a brisk trade selling Bizarro bonds: "Guaranteed to lose money for you".
