Westpac Bank Bananas - A Response from Mozo.com.au

[VigorousLifeStyle]

Hilarious, you do realise banks have employees to pay as well, don't you? Do you all work for free? Do you like watching invoices you issued for work you did go unpaid? If you lent money and you could have spent it on something else, wouldn't you want something in return in the meantime, such as interest? Or a teddy bear?

General public couldn't care less about understanding economics, this is a free lesson - when the banks go bust, no one will lend you money to buy a house. The End.

Westpac Wankers

[sonycans]

If you are a shareholder of Westpac, you know one thing for sure... that is you have incompetent people managing your investment with little or no conscience of how they get that profit for you. This time they failed on their overseas investments so to make up for the profit they slug the bread and butter customers. Shareholders of Westpac, if the customers revolted and leave, you will face a major profit loss by the next financial year. Consider that in your next Westpac AGM.

[mrbendoverful]

Yeah up yours Westpac, money could be saved by shaving some exec salaries, how bout that hey

[rgrthrnhll]

Regardless of who the voice is, this video ought to be sent straight to Gail Kelly so she can sit there and consider how her organisation's insistence on maintaining profit margins in the face of an economic crisis is something that has a very real and very material impact on families. Hear that baby crying, Gail? That's your business outcome.

[grgkpln]

Hear hear. Westpac had this coming. To belittle the impact they have on people's lives is unbelievable.

By the way, for the record, banks do not HAVE TO pass on costs to their customers; they CHOOSE TO. They can only get away with doing so at will if there is a lack of competition. That's our problem.

Vote with your feet!

It doesn't sound anything like him you monkeys!

Are you all retarded?

Wikipedia is edited by anyone...don't believe it just because Wikipedia says it for gods sake.

God, I despair at where people are getting their information these days.

[srkh28]

excellent! Ah, if only there was some sort of cream we could rub on westpac to make it go away.

[ymur8813]

Just checked on wikipedia - says it's Mr. Race Relations himself. Safran strikes again.

[reubot0]

I don't think so, doesn't sound like him...

[grgkpln]

In your face Westpac. They must be so out of touch to think they could trivialise what is the biggest financial burden in our lives. THIS video is the real bank / smoothie comparison. The family out on the street with the crying baby... so NOT like a banana smoothie.

[burgwachi]

TRUUUUUULY. Gold.

Is this John Safran?

[chronicfootball]

@burgwachi Yeah it's definately John Safran. Check out his Wikipedia page! "In December 2009, John Safran posted a video on Youtube in response to Westpac's "Banana Smoothie" commercial..."

[therealburgo]

Hey @chronicfootball, I'm not saying that it's *not* John Safran, but just regarding your "It's definitely John Safran, check out his wikipedia page" comment... You DO know that just because something is on Wikipedia doesn't necessarily make it true, right?

[reubot0]

Doesn't sound like him...

[DomCostello]

Lol!! You're quoting wikipedia, a publicly editable source as proof to this authenticity?! C'mon guys, try a bit harder.

[adncnsn]

Oh this is so true!

[ymur8813]

ROFL! Gail Kelly really has gone Bananas!
