Wall Street Bull's Underwear Friend Was Just Posing

2009_07_charge.jpg Remember the underwear-clad guy atop the Charging Bull sculpture near Wall Street? Now Daily Intel reveals it wasn't a drunk intern or other victim of investment firm debauchery—"He was Peter Killy, a fortysomething actor who was making an indie movie, The Robber Barons of Wall Street. This particular pose was a shot they plan to use for the promotional poster." Killy said, "I am slightly disturbed that this opportunistic photographer never bothered to see if I was dead or alive. I had my photographer and director there, they said a police car drove by and didn't even stop. That was the funniest part of all ... It was just like another day in the financial district."

"I am slightly disturbed that this opportunistic photographer never bothered to see if I was dead or alive."

Seriously.

You mean he wasn't an offering to Moloch?

"I am slightly disturbed that this opportunistic photographer never bothered to see if I was dead or alive."

Only in new york?

"That was the funniest part of all ... It was just like another day in the financial district."

In a world where suits routinely step over dead bodies to make another 3%? Is this guy an idiot or what?

Not an idiot, just not a native.
