Big Money Mondays: 10 Funny Financial Commercials

While skimming the New York Times this weekend, we came across this piece on the impending nationalization of the majority of American financial institutions. We didn’t see any problem with this, devout socialists that we are, until we realized that this would mean the demise of an oft-overlooked section of the advertising art sector.
