ROLL up! Roll up! Marvel at the economic circus act of the Two Brians — Mr Boom and Mr Bust!

Thrill as Brian Cowen — Mr Boom — hurtles through the air powered only by the overheating property explosion!

Scream as Brian Lenihan — Mr Bust — plunges back down to earth as the housing bubble bursts violently in his face!
