Andy,

The power goes out all over the WORLD but I guess the utility companies are not as powerful as the banking industry. I guess you can joke about the lights going out but bank runs and mistakes are a no no. LOL

Yeah, but don't the banks need electricity to operate? And if the power was out ... OH, SORRY, here I am spouting off all this doomer-interconnectedness-interdependency-multiple-failure stuff. Forget it, its only a TV commercial after all. Could never happen in real life. Not even near a Navy installation. Hee-hee. Your money is safe in the bank. Hee-hee.

Someone posted a memo from MCI on the preparedness forum. Interesting.

It's really getting slow in the Y2K news world, huh Andy. Now you're starting threads on TV commercials? Please Andy give us your wisdom and insight about commercials. BTW, this one has been out for some time.
