I saw the great satire movie Network again recently, and I noticed that the TV station is called
UBS. Well, there’s a Swiss financial services firm called UBS, so why not use the Network shtick in their ads? They could
have some Howard Beale-type guy in his pajamas and a raincoat say that his
investment company drove him crazy with all their fees and fine print, and if yours drives you crazy too, you
should do what he did, and yell at them: “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going
to take this anymore!” And then switch to UBS, where they’ll make you rich as
hell, instead of mad as hell.
