Meet the Kronies (http://thekronies.com/). I really want to know who's behind this. A must watch:

[EDIT: It's by Emergent Order (http://emergentorder.com/), the guys who did the Hayek vs. Keynes video]

We Have Your Backstop
Chimera Global Holdings has worked together with our partners in Washington to become officially too big to fail. As a result, your investments in CGH are ultimately backstopped by the American taxpayer. So have full faith in us and give credit to the US Treasury.


Raising the Barrier
We believe in full compliance with and support for robust government regulations. In fact, our legal team has played a role in crafting many of them. Our ability to navigate the excessive costs and complexity give CGH a leg up on smaller, more innovative competition.


Watching You
At Chimera, we're using social media to monitor your preferences, your purchases, and your private life. And we're sharing your information with our friends at the NSA to ensure that this country remains safe and free!


Our national banking system is too big to fail. That’s why Chimera Finance continues to have a hand in the development of rules and regulations that shield consumers from new offerings and protect our stakeholders from the downside risks of a free market.

Check out the Karacaters (http://thekronies.com/karacters/) section too. I like Ariel Striker:


She’s a sleek, sexy cyborg built from military surplus parts manufactured in every voting district in the Union.

Kaptain Korn is pretty kool...

KAPTAIN KORN
The Extreme Shape-shifter
Kaptain Korn is a mutant hero who can change shape at will. One minute he’s coating your corn flakes; another minute he’s bootleg liquor in your gas tank. Though he’s powerless without G-force, subsidies and mandates give Kaptain Korn the muscle he needs to push puny third world back down into the dust. Kaptain Korn ensures jokes stay corny, rears stay flabby and engines run less efficiently.

Big G is my favorite. I really hope they make this into a real series. :)

The CGH website is a really great piece of satire!


“You scratch our backs, we’ll employ dozens of mid-level functionaries to formulate a plan that may allow us to scratch yours at some future time.” Chimera helps us put this plan into action.

The origin story for 'Parts & Labor' is pretty damn funny.

Parts & Labor

Parts is a gruff-n-tough grease monkey who knows how to keep the political “machine” running. He’s big, strong and dons classic coveralls. Due to a terrible factory accident, Parts lost both of his hands. He had them replaced with swappable tools that make him extra “handy” as he runs the machine. Come lookin’ for trouble in Parts’ junkyard? You’ll be greeted by Labor, his vicious bulldog, They argue constantly, but the two are practically inseparable. No foreign competition or local upstart should mess with Parts-N-Labor.

Background: Parts & Labor found each other long ago on one of many cigarette breaks at the factory. Their friendship grew as foreign competitors started dumping quality cars, steel and cheap rubber tires in the market. Rust Belt born, Rust Belt bred: Parts-N-Labor blame foreigners for the oxidation around them. Despite all that detritus, this duo keeps pensions bloated and dues flowing to party coffers.

I need to get the K-Street Command Center w/ Revolving Door playset!

They put in fun little details like the E85 on Kaptain Korn's belt and Bankor getting bailed out with a helicopter.

Alright, I only have one question: Where do I buy my own Kronies?

I've been itching to have my own, and this is the perfect opportunity. I've always wanted a taste of that Big G power!
