Bread and Circus


In the foreground, the ladies are distracted by junk food (a.k.a. the Casey Anthony trial). Behind them, a couple of rich Wall Street bankers take their money ('banksters') and death is reaching out to grab them (representing the threatened cuts to Medicare and Medicaid in the debt ceiling debates).

from the Latin phrase: Panem et circenses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses
