City boys get come uppance with Spank the Banker online game

LONDON - Free gaming website Mousebreaker aims to allow people to vent their frustration at City bankers with 'Spank the banker', launched as Gordon Brown battles to save the banks and Britain's economy.

The IPC Media-owned website allows users to as much force as possible, and watch him fall to his doom on the pavement -- again and again and again.

The game features a banker "Piers" exiting a "gone bust" bank with his now familiar cardboard box in hand.

The player smacks a hammer and sends the banker soaring with speech bubbles emerging as he falls -- "Where's my Blackbewwy?" -- before crashing into a bloody pile on the ground.

Mousebreaker.com was acquired by IPC's men's lifestyle division Ignite! in June, joining Nuts, Loaded, Uncut, NME, Nuts.co.uk and nme.com.
