The innocent victims of the financial crisis just keep piling up! The latest: LeveragedSellout blogger Amit Chatwani, whose book lampooning Wall Streeters, Damn It Feels Good To Be a Banker, was published by Hyperion in August and, not surprisingly, isn't exactly flying off the shelves. "Basically, I'm making fun of a class of people who most of the world still hates," Chatwani tells the Times, "but it's just not the same to kick them when they're down..."

Especially when those who are down are his friends, for whom the worst part of their fall from grace, Chatwani says, is not being able to impress girls in bars. Of course! There we were, feeling bad for people whose pensions have disappeared and whose houses are being repossessed, but the idea of a 25-year-old investment banker in Murray Hill getting laid less frequently, well, it puts things into perspective.
