Going Under

I know we are all sick to death of talking about the recession (maybe this should have been an MJ post, but I already started writing...) HOWEVER— I couldn't resist sharing this really smart information graphic illustrating the Largest Bankruptcies in History, including all those that contributed to/resulted from the situation today. To summarize, Lehman Brothers:Titanic as Chrystler:Speedboat. Clever!

It was made by the Brooklyn creative team known as Always With Honor and featured in June's issue of GOOD magazine. I am really impressed ALL their work, but in particular with the flair they bring to information graphics. Just check out what the Obamas having growing in the White House lawn below. I have serious garden envy.
