Jokers Make Light of Bankruptcy on CNN

— September 17, 2008 — Pop Culture
As a rule, I steer clear of bankers and insurance agents, so if you're affiliated with Bank of America, AIG or Washington Mutual, I'm not interested, but, this film is actually really funny. During a Lehman Brothers Bankruptcy report on CNN, two men are seen making out as part of cheeky Howard Stern prank.

I am not sure if it is funnier that millions see the two getting it on, or that the news reader has a total lack of humor.

While we're on the topic, there was a bank closure yesterday in the UK and we had to deal with male bankers "comforting" female colleagues in a totally inappropriate manner. Well, I guess in all fairness, they'll miss out on their chance to hit on those women at the Christmas party, so good for them for trying.
