The real cause of the banking mess? MEN.

(I kid you not…)

LONDON, Feb. 10 — Fred, Tom, Andy, Dennis, Eric, John, Stephen, Antonio and Paul ran British banks that lost billions of dollars.
So they have been called in for a grilling by Nick, Graham, Colin, Jim, Stephen, Michael, Andrew, George, Mark, Peter, three Johns — and a single, solitary Sally.
The interrogation of the lions of British banking, many of whom have lost their jobs, began on live television Tuesday before the financial overseers of Parliament’s Treasury Select Committee. And in line with the usual math of the financial world, 18 of the 19 key people in the room were men.
“Clearly, something needs to change,” said Howard Archer, chief European and U.K. economist at IHS Global Insight in London. “You can argue that the men have made a right mess of it, and now the ladies should have a go.”
