Are ING trying to make their emails look like spam?

Or are they branching out to offer a range of non-financial products?

    She’ll be left wanting more by the size of your deposit!

    There’ll be no premature….withdrawals with our bank!

    Just wait for the one where ING invites you to re-finance a home loan you’ve taken out with another bank: “We’d like to bone your loan”.

    At least they’re a bit more subtle than NAB which today released it’s new “hey bitch, how can we fuck you up the arse more today” campaign.

    Any bank that calls me and says “Hey Bitch” gets my business hands-down.

    We all know that accountants (and by extension finance sector workers with the exception of tellers and some branch assistant managers) use their personalities as a mandatory contraceptive. It makes sense then that they would sublimate their (perpetually unmet) desire to procreate into their job.

    All I can say is that this makes me want to monitor my lump sum going forwards (and backwards, and forwards). I’m thinking of investing my assets in the women’s services market of course.

    Bruce, I take umbrage at that suggestion. I worked in Finance for the best part of a decade.

    We now know Ed’s name, date of birth and preferred banking institution. As soon as that $1000 bonus goes into his account, it’s ours.

    (Hat tip to ;;;;)

    Wow. It’s amazing what happens when you put on the role of an accountant. That crap I wrote looked funny at the time.

    Incidentally, I have nightmares about accountancy. Seriously.
