I was reading this article at WSJ.com (registration required) about the insurance industry* scandal, when I saw the funniest, absolutely most apropos click-through ad:

I thought that was just brilliant.

*Is it just me, or does anyone else find it odd that this scandal has gotten virtually no mention in the blogosphere? It is easily one of the biggest financial scandals of the last 10 years, and not a mention of it on any of the big blogs. I haven't really mentioned it, other than one post wondering when Greenberg's resignation would occur, because it just hits too close to home, and I work in a part of the business that has nothing to do with insurance whatsoever. I am the controller for the technology department. Well, they call me CFO for technology, but I always find that title to be a bit of overkill. Business unit controller describes my function quite well.
