Dear money-hungry pit vipers...

[An open letter to CIBC et al.]

Dear money-hungry pit vipers,

I've seen the CIBC commercial with the young couple. The wife is pregnant and asking the husband if they are going to be okay. The husband assures her that everything is fine, and shows her a fully stocked baby room. The commercial is for CIBC Mortgages and Lines of Credit.

I think the young husband did the right thing, to commit his new family to an additional personal debt load, on top of the mortgage they took to buy their new house (most likely shown in another banking commercial). Quite frankly, it's so emotional that it makes me want to run out and get myself into personal debt too. And when I do, I'll be glad that there will be a friendly bank out there ready to fleece me for all I'm worth. Thanks guys!
