This cartoon by Patrick Blower from The Telegraph is a spoof of the poster for the movie Contagion, a medical thriller which follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. In Blower's version, it is fear over the global economic crisis which is spreading, and the 'stars' are world leaders including Angela Merkel and Nicholas Sarkozy, who will be the leading players at this weekend's eurozone debt crisis summit.
COMMENTS
1. I love the movie-critic-style quotes "You couldn't make it up" (IMF) and "Chillingly believable" (Mervyn King).
2. Note the euro sign replacing the 'e' in the word 'fear'.
