Friday funnies: a few financial foibles for your felicitation

Every so often, you get a little frutstrated watching boring bank adverts, so here are a few that will make you smile.

First, bearing in mind the time of year and what recently happened, I'm not sure that Abitab (a payments service) will want to air this ad outside Uruguay ...

... it lacked bite for me, unlike Capital One's bull run to promote mobile banking  ...

... now that one takes balls and bulls.  Mind you, that's nowhere near as different as First Bank's promotion (or demotion) of Google Glass ...

Talking of Google, can you imagine using checking out in real life in the same way as the online checkout process?

Whilst we are talking tech, I should point out that you can't use your tablet computer for everything ...

Finally, if you've ever felt that you can't keep up with the pace of change and your kids are getting you down with their rapid changes, you can always encourage them to change ...

Happy Fridays!
