Still not sure how to dress up for Halloween?

Smarting from such huge market losses that you planned on sticking a knife in a box of Cheerios and going out as a "Cereal Killer?"

Can you still afford printer ink? (It does cost more than human blood, for a seasonably-relevant comparison, and even Dom Perignon, for that matter, so don't be so sure).

Why not go as Dr. Doom, aka, famously-gloomy NYU economics professor Nouriel Roubini?

You may recall laughing out loud when Roubini predicted the global financial crisis a year ago. Well, Roubini had the last laugh and now he says the worst is yet to come. What could be more scary?

A paper mask made from an extraordinarily gloomy portrait of Roubini which adorns his home page is yours for the downloading at Inca Cola News, which promises:

  • GUARANTEED TO SCARE THE HELL OUT OF YOUR MACMANSION NEIGHBORS
  • MORTAL ECONOMISTS WILL CRINGE WITH FEAR AS THEY REMEMBER THEIR WORDS AT DAVOS 2007
  • SURE TO BE IN HIGH DEMAND AT MASOCHISTIC BANKING PARTIES
  • IT NEVER SMILES
  • IT'S NEVER WRONG
  • IT STILL WON'T SMILE

They've done all the crude Photoshopping so you don't have to – just add rubber band and par-tee on!

You know you want to do this. You need all the money you can save to (continue to) drink heavily, because the market opens again in just another 60 hours or so.
