January 7th, 2009 at 14:50:27 And to think "there is nothing as safe as bricks and mortar". And WOW the Business Plan these Bankers have! In good times its one big prosperous party. If bad times come there is no downside. No bankruptcy. Governments worldwide step in to bail them out. Definately a business to be in .....
January 7th, 2009 at 15:13:26 How much u gonna sell all your country for? we have money to buy you, haha Jewish still richer than american
January 7th, 2009 at 15:36:25 ...except having Melvyn Bragg introducing it for The South Bank Show makes it ITV1... ;-)
January 7th, 2009 at 15:59:24 Hem-hem, too quo! And in our next interview we will talk with Juan Valdez, an illegal alien with a stolen social security card and no credit, who was just approved for a $350K home mortgage in Malibu. Tune in !
January 7th, 2009 at 16:22:23 genius!
January 7th, 2009 at 16:45:22 *Great video but see "The Room" by Tommy Wiseau! AWESOME **DISCOVER "The Room MOVIE" by Tommy Wiseau! IT's FUN!**
January 7th, 2009 at 17:08:21 i would try the "bankingorbust" website if you want to learn more on this topic
January 7th, 2009 at 17:31:20 nothing is more cutting than the british but i wish george carlin was still alive on the other side of the pond.he'd have a lot to say and it would be very very cutting with expletives.
January 7th, 2009 at 17:54:19 it was broadcast on ch4 late summer 2007
January 7th, 2009 at 18:17:18 Oh yes indeed. There's also something in there about taiwanese sumo-mudwrestling and blindfolded pingpong that people seem to disregard completely! :)
January 7th, 2009 at 18:40:17 Brokenbriton, my comment was to be taken on the 2nd degree (or even the 3rd one)... ;-)
January 7th, 2009 at 19:03:16 This is superb british humour, it makes fun of just everyone in an intelligent and fresh way, informing anyone even with no technical background about the bad things that happened Ugo (I am Italian)
January 7th, 2009 at 19:26:15 Wake up people - this is not racism, it´s humour! Remember that?? The fact that it´s absolutely TRUE makes it even funnier. You should perhaps be more critical of the people who orchestrated the crisis in the first place, not the commentators. This is classic British humour!
January 7th, 2009 at 19:49:14 Its a pity such brilliant humour is lost on the likes of Antoine. The greed of the bankers selling worthless assets dressed up as great investments is where is all went wrong..Well done
January 7th, 2009 at 20:12:13 Yeah ! Indeed ! This banker clearly attacked the unemployed Black man sitting in front of his crumbling house in Alabama ! You are right, some people seem to think that s humor, but it is not !
January 7th, 2009 at 20:35:12 Splendid...funny, true and irony-drenched.
January 7th, 2009 at 20:58:11 Uh, yeah... the whole thing was about racism. And Santa Clause... Get a clue!
January 7th, 2009 at 21:21:10 Well, anyway the banker did the fraud against who he called the "black" man. The stress here is on the racism of the banker, not a personal actor's thought
January 7th, 2009 at 21:44:09 nice
January 7th, 2009 at 22:07:08 LOL
January 7th, 2009 at 22:30:07 I too have been wondering! This was posted in Feb 2008 and hence must have been recorded before that. Most of the "detailed postmortem analysis" of the financial crisis was done in September 2008 when Lehman disappeared and others were pushed on the brink
January 7th, 2009 at 22:53:06 Would the joke have been as funny if the "black" man was just "guy" on a crumbling porch? Why or why not? Does it matter that these are two older white men? Are there critical differences (historical and in the sense of humor) between an English and American audience that might make the same joke satire in Liverpool and troubling in Atlanta?
January 7th, 2009 at 23:16:05 I find it utterly staggering that anyone finds this racist...you're missing the point of the humour by so much it's frightening.
January 8th, 2009 at 23:39:04 Doea anybody know when this was recorded? They must have been among the first to analyse correctly? "Wondering"
January 8th, 2009 at 00:02:03 Its called satire mate, they're pointing out that millions of poor and vulnerable people (many of whom are no-doubt black and unemployed) were exploited and driven into debt in America by the stupidity and greed of speculators and mortgage brokers.
