Wrong decade. Fortunately, we're well past "Hammer Time."
I don’t usually re-post directly from other blogs.

Meanwhile, you of course don’t need to be a celebrity to need bankruptcy protection. Plenty of people of all income levels need to file every day for a variety of reasons. The bankruptcy laws were created to give America’s citizens an opportunity for a fresh start when their debts grow out of control. It’s the bankruptcy system that enables regular Americans as well as large corporations to take risks and have a safety net that prevents them from falling too far.
