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 .....

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 !

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.

it was broadcast on ch4 late summer 2007

Oh yes indeed. There's also something in there about taiwanese sumo-mudwrestling and blindfolded pingpong that people seem to disregard completely! :)

Brokenbriton, my comment was to be taken on the 2nd degree (or even the 3rd one)... ;-)
By: ucelesti. on 05 Dec 08, 16:15:58
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)
By: Geetar2112. on 05 Dec 08, 13:44:49
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!
By: brokenbriton. on 04 Dec 08, 18:12:43
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
By: antoinedargentine. on 03 Dec 08, 22:30:41
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 !
By: ironyfree. on 03 Dec 08, 18:12:39
Splendid...funny, true and irony-drenched.
By: incoserv. on 28 Nov 08, 03:00:39
Uh, yeah... the whole thing was about racism. And Santa Clause... Get a clue!
By: bonafide480. on 26 Nov 08, 14:25:37
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
By: Shachna1979. on 24 Nov 08, 23:59:55
nice
By: batbomb92. on 24 Nov 08, 12:10:43
LOL
By: WhyIsMyNickTaken. on 23 Nov 08, 00:12:30
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
By: hiroprot. on 22 Nov 08, 16:34:42
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?
By: markcullis. on 22 Nov 08, 12:10:39
I find it utterly staggering that anyone finds this racist...you're missing the point of the humour by so much it's frightening.
By: turmannturmann. on 21 Nov 08, 16:14:10
Doea anybody know when this was recorded? They must have been among the first to analyse correctly? "Wondering"
By: gullivera. on 20 Nov 08, 20:21:09
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.
