Yes, this video was fun. Perhap Abbas Raza's short morality play was meant to remind certain sectors of the financial industry of the consequences of greed.
As we plan our financial bailouts, I think we should be careful to ensure that the consequences of financial industry greed are felt where they should be, and not upon their victims.
