Poetic Signage
It's not yet know whether the Washington Mutual on Avenue A in the East Village will be among 540 closed by acquirer JP Morgan Chase. But given that the WaMu's failure was the largest in U.S. history , the branch's signage could hardly have malfunctioned in a more appropriate fashion. (Thanks to the tipster who snapped this image on a BlackBerry and sent it in. We're taking it on faith that this isn't a Photoshop job.)
