Greece in Crisis? Just Sneer at It!

The internet has recently burst out with laughter over the Greek crisis. It may be a bit cruel to make light of the misfortunes of others, but quite often people need to find a lighter side to dire situations, even amid the most frantic crises.

It can't be said that World Wide Web users lack a sense of humor, that's for sure.

This is how the internet community, for example, reacted to the resignation of the country’s ex-finance minister Yanis Varoufakis: while some believe that he quickly jumped on his Yamaha motorcycle and zoomed towards the sunset in search of a better life,

others proclaimed "The King is Dead, Long Live the King!" and gave their thoughts on who would be next.

Still others speculated on what the new drachmas would look like if Athens chooses to return to its own currency. Not surprisingly, Varoufakis made a guest appearance on some of the proposed banknotes.

Others however suggest that Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras also deserves a banknote.

Some users resorted to providing funny explanations “why the loans never helped the Greek people”.

Some gave tips on how the ATMs could be put to use now that they're no longer suitable for making cash withdrawals due to the heavy restrictions.

Some sought wisdom from The Simpsons, recalling how Europe once put Greece on eBay.

The Acropolis would also help: “The situation in Greece is getting serious. This government building is already in ruins,” read one of its Tweets.

Yet others posted pictures of the politicians pretending it was all about Greece.

According to one netizen, the negotiators couldn't see eye to eye due to fashion problems rather than financial ones: EU agrees to drop all other demands if Tsipras would just wear a tie,

or at least his pants.

Some just did not want to miss any chance to attack Germany and Angela Merkel in particular, referring to the recent referendum on Eurozone austerity terms.

And some just imagined Tsipras going down with the Titanic.
