Washington: Wanna slap your CEO? It is just a click away. A new online video game called 'Trillion Dollar Bailout' by web entertainment company AddictingGames.com allows the players to slap or reward CEOs and hand out bags of money to deserving homeowners. Players of the game are given one trillion play dollars intended to "rescue the U.S. economy before total economic meltdown strikes. The game shows homeowners and CEOs pop out of a New York City skyline requesting taxpayer funded handouts like $8 billion requested by Crysalot Motors. Players have the choice to either hand out money by clicking on a money bag icon or give the CEO a slap by clicking on an icon which looks like a hand. Finally, the players' actions are charted on a graph and determine whether the economy is saved or tanks. The game urges players to "punish greedy fat cats and save honest people" and "put the hurt on dudes in suits!"
