Through all the doom and gloom of the current financial-political-social-environmental situation, it’s still a little exciting to find ourselves at one of those rare historical moments when Old White Men’s firm grip on power is threatened. As banks collapse, financial firms go bankrupt and various industry leaders ask for hand-outs, there’s been plenty of accompanying eye-candy. The glut of photographs featuring Old White Men (usually CEOs and the like) with their heads burried in their hands, or shooting daggers at the slightly less old and white man about to take over their job, makes us giddy. Of course we suspect that, as they always do, Old White Men will regain their positions of unwavering power after this period of turmoil (yes, we’re hardened pessimists), which is all the more reason to enjoy these Pictures of 15 Frustrated Old White Men while we have the chance.
