Interesting thing I just noticed...

I log into my Wells Fargo account over the internet quite regularly, and have always rolled my eyes in the past over the little "pictures" of happy bank customers all over their site... blacks, mexicans, whites, asians all happily businessing, playing, and schooling together in politically correct racially-diverse pairings, with grins so wide you'd think Wells Fargo was the greatest thing to ever happen to one-big-happy family of humanity!

Not today... all racially homogenous... clicked through several different layers/pages of their website and it's all whites with whites, blacks with blacks, no more of the "happy diverse world colors of Ikea" or whatever the hell they were trying to project before.

Thoughts?

New IT that will soon be replaced?

I'll know something is up when our local rag stops showing two dudes drinking coffee in robes advertising their own paper on their site.

The one color these greedy dickwads are concerned with is GREEN.

Soon it will not be cost affective for the banks to keep their doors open because most people are now broke, instead of paying X ammount that the bank charged you for having a checking account will be better to buy a money order at wallys world.

My bank (as of yet) doesn't charge me anything but if they were to do so I would close my account.

How do you know they aren't customizing what you see based on your unique login? Just like banner ads, they could customize what you see based on the info they have about you. Maybe they figured out you are not a "aging liberal hippie douchebag" and thus serve you images while serving hippies something more "kum ba ya" based?

They've honed in on your zip code & are applying the needed sales technique.

I vote for this, the software they are using is using your info to tailor the adds directed to you.

ie

Name / Nombre:
