Band Aid for the banking industry: "Bleed the World"

From Arbroath: "At Christmas time we should always spare a thought for those less fortunate than us. After 20 years of bleeding the world, the global financial community has fallen on hard times. These people desperately need our thoughts, prayers and lots of our money. If you have any investments or savings left, or any money left over at the end of the month please, please give generously."

  Mmmmmmmmm, Bananarama…

  “If you have any investments or savings left, or any money left over at the end of the month please, please give generously.”

  And if you don’t give, no problem, because we’ll take it anyway.

  Egads, that part of my brain that fills in visual information based on what it expects to see–you know, the same bit that wallpapers over the blind spot on the retina where the optic nerve attaches–is on the fritz. I got “Band Aid for the Smoking Industry,” and nothing in the vid made any damn sense at all.

  This is going to get worse before it gets better.

  Where did that gorilla come from?

  Also, the slouchy sweaters weren’t that bad. But not for the guys. Please, never again.

  The gorilla is from a UK TV advert for Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Chocolate http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CbLr2NEV_7o

  I feel bad for our fashion crimes of the 80ies

  Most experiments fail, but the ones that succeed give us looks like Debbie Harry.

• [Scixual]

  Wow.

  Some of them haven’t been on video in over 20 years.

  I wonder how many look more freakish now than they did then? I’m looking at YOU Boy George!

  I remember Michael Moore doing something like this in the 90′s called “CorpAid” where he had the Meat Puppets play a concert on a flatbed truck on Wall Street.
