The new Halifax ad.

[frankthring]

Jimbo, I may not see an evil banker hiding behind every bush (metaphorically
speaking) as you do, we can have our differences, but dear Jimbo, never
NEVER since the dawn of television advertising, has a bloody building society,
bank or credit company run an honest ad ! Their ads make them out to be
kind, caring, helpful, considerate wheras, as all of us know, they are to the
average Joe, grasping, cruel, un-caring and insensitive !!! Every bank,
building society or credit company TV commercial is an example of blatant
hypocrisy !!
Bring back those tea-drinking chimps. They at least told it like it is !

All the Halifax ads are crap

You truly are the "Gandhi of BGAFD!"

I'm afraid Frank, in the UK 10's thousands of people are being thrown out of their jobs because of the greed and incompetence of, "Evil bankers". Half of Europe is going down the toilet because of "Evil bankers" and guess what? They are still at it, nothing has changed, its business as usual.

Frank, put down your walking cane, polish your glasses, adjust your loin cloth, squat down and have a look at this loveable banker!

Hi Jim,

That interview on the BBC is a spoof, the man is an actor and his real name is Andy Bichlbaum. He is a member of an outfit called The Yes Men, they pop up on TV in various disguises and pretend to be other people. This BBC interview has got a lot of coverage in the wider press about how it is a spoof. The BBC were forced to issue a statement saying that as far as they were concerned the interview was not, and was real.

Article:



Here are some other photos of Andy Bichlbaum, in various disguises:

Why on Earth did I think that this dude was a REAL banker? I mean bankers are not like that at all! Please forgive my sheer stupidity! !wink!

Of course our cuddly bankers are actually like this:





Anyone remember Picture Loans, I wonder how many poor fools they sent down the toilet?

You thought he was a real banker thought didn't you? He aint, he's phoney and the BBC have been duped by him TWICE. Each time he had a differnt disguise, differnt name, differnt accent and so on.

Here he is as 'Alessio Rastani':

I think perhaps you are entirely correct. I am of the opinion that the bastards should never have been allowed into the UK. I used to vist them in Canada with a friend and his wife but I would only ever have a Fanta to drink and never ever have I eaten any of the shyte that they purport to be food.

All of the characters in Yes Minister, Yes Prime Minister and Rik Mayals character Alan B'stard were based on real people. So, this spoof twatt who fooled the BBC must have based his character on a real person.
ALL bankers are like that twatt. Evil grasping greedy as fuck bastards.
