AD WIZARDS: HSBC Knows How A Marriage Works

So, let’s say you’re a logger and some tree huggers have been protesting at your work site. When you get to work one morning, your wife is being dragged off by the police and you kind of just shrug at her when she goes by. After spending the day cuttin’ down the trees in which an endangered species of swallow live, you remember your wife and decide to go bail her out of jail. When you get there, man is she PISSED! Then, you ride off on your motorcycle together. Suddenly, she remembers how awesome you are, and hugs you tight. And *that* is what true love is all about.

WHAT? Apparently this is what HSBC thinks will get people to open a checking account. I’ve seen this commercial about 20 times in the past couple of weeks, and everytime, I’m totally confused. Why is the guy so calm and continuing his day of work? Why does he bail his obviously disloyal wife out of jail? If I was this guy, I’d be like, “Um, you can rot in jail for all I care! Oh, and how does that food taste? Cuz your precious little endangered species just paid for it.” I’m all for saving the trees and stuff, but shouldn’t her husband, who surely was a logger when she married him, come first?

UDPATE: I just realized I posted a longer, extended version that I had never seen before…this one is WAY crazier! Now I’m even more confused…is this some sort of weird cult living in the woods? And yes, there’s a dude in a bear suit! (Thanks mrsryan for pointing that out.)
